Anal cancer

I am currently into week 4 of Chemoradiation for Anal Cancer and this is my first post, so "Hello"

It is becoming a struggle now with so many side effects and wondered if any one can advise what lotions and potions are suitable (and work) for Radiotherapy burns to this very delicate area! 

The Radiotherapy team have given me Hydrogel but not helping much. I also have 100% natural Aloe Vera Gel which is quite effective. 

Look forward to connecting to any one like me and thank you.
