Hi all finished my 20 sessions of radiotherapy last Friday. I know have constant blood mucus and pain from my back passage.
I seem to get an urgency to go to loo and its loads of wind blood and mucus. I dont strain to go as it makes the pain worse. any ideas
what can help this side effect. thank you in advance
Hello Dj manic
I would advise you to contact your Radiotherapy team first thing in the morning and they will advise you of the action you need to take.
If the pain gets to an unacceptable level call 111 or go to A & E.
Do please let us know how you get on.
Best wishes - Brian
