3 years in and having chronic late side effects

Hi

I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling really low with the side effects you're experiencing. I don't have any such experience to draw on but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies.

Have you spoken to your GP about your side effects and how they are getting you down? If not s/he would probably be a good place to start and they might be able to arrange for you to have counselling to help you.

I know that you say that you can't leave the house so you could give the Macmillan Support Line a call on 0808 808 0000. It's free to call, available daily from 8am and 8pm and staffed by people who can point you towards help or just listen to you if all you want to do is talk.

Hi Lisa, just joined this group and saw your call for help. It sounds like you possibly are struggling with late effects of pelvic radiotherapy and treatment like me. My treatment was many years ago and without trying to make you feel worse I struggled for a long time alone without support of knowing who to talk to or what was happening to me. You can feel very isolated and depressed, I totally empathise. Please consider contacting the organisation PRDA online which stands for 'Pelvic Radiation Disease Association' who will do their best to help point you in the right direction. There are so many of us struggling with late effects, some of us with a few symptoms and some with many in varying degrees. You are not alone, and will learn that once you find the help, support and guidance you need to make sure you get the right aftercare. Good luck Lisa, hugs Val :)
