Pelvic Radiation Disease

I have stage three prostate cancer I had treatment in 2016 and now have late effects of radiotherapy. It’s been diagnosed as pelvic Radiation Disease. There is no treatment for this in Wales. In my case it’s debilitating and means’s I’m unable to eat or drink many foods or drinks. 
life is spent always in immediate reach of the toilet. I’m not living anymore just existing.

  • Hi Naturally_digital,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to hear of your situation, this of course sounds very difficult. You mention there is no treatment - if you haven't already, do be sure to discuss with your doctor what options there may be for managing it and for getting any additional support that may help with it.

    Do also have a look at the information provided by the Guts UK charity, in case any of this is helpful.

    Aside from this, I hope that the forum is useful for you and we are always here if you need it.

    Wishing you all the best,
