I am in 2nd week of radiotherapy for anal cancer...I am looking advice on creams to use to prevent soreness...nurses have gave me diprobase ointment but didn't tell me how to use it
I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis of anal cancer. I know from posts we've had here on the forum before from members that many people who have this diagnosis struggle with soreness during radiotherapy.
I wanted to suggest you post on this thread here and that you may like to have a look at this older thread as well. I'm also going to tag in [@Farrahpops] and [@flexilegss] who I know have both been through treatment for anal cancer. I'm sure that if they see this post they will pop by to say hello and share their tips for coping with you.
If you want to talk to one of our team of nurses at any point you're most welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm. I'm sure they will help with any information and advice that they can.
