I agree. Ever patients journey is different. My radiation and chemo ended Oct 31. Now still dealing w side effects but they seem to be getting better this week. Bathroom issues are primary. Strongly suggest ordering the sitz bath attachment for toilet. Is inexpensive and portable. Comes in a sleeve so transport is discreet
You can.press it flat or leave it as open receptacle for warm water which is a relief to have and just sit there!! Use the aquafor lubricant that radiology suggests and start now using on rectal area and creases where legs meet torso
We are here for you. Don't feel alone. Some of us have recently been where you are. Pls let us know how you are doing. !!! Hugs and support and encouragement to you !!!!
