Hello.
I would like to get some information on how the radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment effects people please?
A very dear friend of mine, who i am also her main carer, has just been diagnosed with anal cancer.
She is due a PEC scan to check the lymph nodes next week.
She is 69, wheelchair bound with MS. So far we don't know what stage the cancer is but the doctor has said its likely she won't need surgery.
Can anyone honestly advise me on how the radiotherapy and chemotherapy has effected them, how they feel it would effect someone with MS and being completely wheelchair bound, unable to transfer with out a hoist and who has constant reoccurring UTI's and has a supra-pubic catheter in place and who suffers from pressure sores from being on her bottom all the time.
We have a team of 3 private carers including myself and I need to prepare us and alter her care plan to help support her through this time and beyond.
Any advice would be gratefully received.
Thankyou.
