Please help, rectal cancer recovery
I had Papillon treatment followed by 5x5
chemoradiotherapy
. I seemed to be recovering quite well until December when I had a sigmoidoscopy and polyps were removed. I have trouble finding anything I can eat that doesn't either make me constipated or have diarrhea.

Has anyone developed Lichen Sclerosus after pelvic radiotherapy?
I had
chemoradiotherapy
14 years ago for SCC rectum. The cause of LS is not known though trauma to the skin is thought to be one contributory factor.

Endometrial Cancer - Pelvic Chemoradiotherapy.
Hi there, I have all the digestive issues you'd expect. I'm chronically constipated and take sodium docusate 8-10 per day. I had a very large spleen and compromised immune system. I'm 3 years post treatment. A large dose of b12 reduced the spleen to near normal but if it falls below 1000 it starts to

Surgery or not!
I had radical
chemoradiotherapy
treatment for 6 weeks in July / August that year. After initially being told the tumour had been greatly reduced in size, I was given the ‘all clear’. However, in June this year, an endoscopy indicated histological evidence of local recurrence of cancer cells!
