Hi new to this! I am now 9 days after finishing 28 days of chemoradiation for anal cancer. On the whole I seemed to cope well with the treatment so feel very lucky.
I had a couple of bad days this week supposed to be what happens as the radiotherapy is still working and my body needs to adjust to coming off the Capecitibine tablets.
Main problem is the soreness of skin all around my bikini line (not that I wear bikinis) but the whole area is very red and sore making underwear uncomfortable. Cannot not wear any as I have a little leakage in the anal area still.
Have used the Diprobase prescribed religiously plus Flamazine where the skin had broken down. District Nurse said yes it is very sore but clean and not infected
Today I have tried Sudocrem on a couple of small areas and wow I have some relief!
After going to the toilet it is usually sore for a while and I am using lots of pads to make me feel more comfortable. Also sitting on a plastic blow up ring!
Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated thanks.
