No surgery yet and hopefully I won’t need any. I’ll start radiation on 5/28 but chemo will be delayed a few days. I just had dental surgery (bone graft) and that needs a few more days to heal and get those drugs out of my system!

Hi Yancy,
I’m sorry you are also in this boat. I completed treatment for anal ca on 5/19/23, 30 radiation treatments and FU5. It was extremely hard, & very painful. It helped to have a hand held bidet sprayer on the toilet. You can get them through Amazon. It was inexpensive & really easy to install. The other things that helped were Refresh brand, unscented toilet paper moistener & aquaphor ointment (the hospital provided that). I hesitated to take the pain meds, because of allergies, I wouldn’t do that again. You will get through it, but it is hard. I’m sending you best wishes. Good luck.❤️
