Re: Half way done!!!
Hi! I'm guessing you are half way through the six weeks of chemo/radiation before surgery? I finished that in May, and you can do it!! I finally asked for pain killers (which I didn't take after surgery-the radiation was worse pain wise for me). Use your sitz bath more!! It will help!! Don't be shy asking dr for anything else. I am now going through the second part of chemo-one day at a time. Hang in there!

Re: Half way done!!!
You can do it! Do not be shy about asking for pain relief. dH waited until the look on his face made me insist on calling the doc for meds. The meds and lidocaine cream did help a lot.
Best wishes!

Re: Half way done!!!
Doctors said I have good chance to be done without surgery. (For anal cancer itis work well).
I only stop morphine two weeks ago, I take oxycodone for night time only , I use the lidocaine cream , but my burn is inside.

Where is the burn? Is it in your butt or elsewhere? Are you doing radiation alone or with chemo?

Did you ask about suppositories? I know they have steroid ones, not sure if that would help or if they have others
