Hello, I am in exactly the same position! The waiting is agonising isn’t it? My chemo/ radio finally starting next week, so scared. Wishing you all the best. Do you have a plan now? Good to hear from someone that has been through the treatment and come out the other side

HiEliHove 

Good luck for next week. You will soon be out the other side. Any questions just ask. Sending hugs

 Xx

Thank you! Were you very poorly with the treatment? I’m not sure how to prepare - have ordered some flamygel and trying to maintain my weight and eat healthily. Hard to keep active though as I’m so tired x x

Hi EliHove 

I wasn't to bad with the treatment, it wasn't a walk in the park but not as bad as i expected. I had bad wind pain from day 1 but cutting veg specifically green helped with this, the skin got quite sore as time went on and towards the end and post for a while i had a lot of mucous and having a poo was painful. Try to remember though we all react and cope with treatment differently. In terms of how to prepare i would say moisturise well all the time. The things i couldnt have done without were mens baggy boxers, water wipes and a limbo sleeve. Quite a few people on a different forum all had sitz baths on their lists and rate them (i never got one). Xx
