My wife has anal cancer stage 4 and has a stoma she had 22 sessions of chemotherapy and just recently finished five and a half weeks of radiotherapy with chemo tablets also, the objective was to shrink the tumour in her anus because she can’t sit because it’s very close to the opening she obviously has had skin burning etc with the radiation but the pain in her anus as got much worse after finishing the radiotherapy treatment , she has some mucus but tired all the time no energy, she says she can’t feel the tumour like before the radiotherapy but then why is she getting so much pain now if it’s shrunk? Tomorrow she’s going for a CT scan then the day after a MRI a appointment follow up as been made for two weeks after with the oncologist to discuss the results,
thank you
Peter.
