They were unable after three attempts and two enemas to do my radiotherapy today (16 of 20)
Anxious if it happens again what they will do . He is following a low fibre diet and hasn’t had anything he shouldn’t. Anybody else had this issue please

Hello Mitch1
I'm sorry to hear that your recent radiotherapy treatment was unable to go ahead due to trapped wind in your bowel. I can understand that this may be been worrying for you.
Hopefully, your next appointment will go ahead smoothly and with no further problems but do talk with the radiotherapy team and your clinical nurse specialist about your concerns. Hopefull, they will be able to give you some reassurance.
If it would be helpful to talk things through with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.
Best wishes,
Jenn
