Well done for getting through the third week of radiotherapy and chemotherapy for rectal cancer. How have you been feeling after your treatments? I hope that you are not suffering any significant side effects.
Two more weeks to go and I wanted to wish you the best of luck for the rest of your treatment. If you're interested in reading more, our website has useful information on treatment for rectal cancer including a page on chemotherapy for rectal cancer and on radiotherapy for rectal cancer and if there is anything you want to find out more about or if you have any questions, our cancer nurses are available on this free number 0808 800 4040 to answer any questions you might have or simply to talk things through with you - their helpline is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.
I hope that you will also meet other members of our community who have had a rectal cancer diagnosis as it helps to talk to others who are at a similar phase of treatment. I've noticed for example AlyGG 's rectal cancer thread from three months ago and don't hesitate to respond to it and share your story. This member was at the time about to start chemotherapy for rectal cancer and was feeling scared about it so I think you two might have a lot to share with one another.
Keep strong for the remaining 2 weeks of treatment - I hope it all goes well and that it will be effective and successful!
