Thanks anyway

This is the right forum for Rectal Tenesmus, in case that's of any interest to you. There have been lots of comments on that particular topic in this forum.

...In the end, it comes down to one thing - this isn't my cancer. I can make suggestions, but it's DH's life and body, so I will go with his choice and be as supportive as I can!

Hi I have a new diagnosis of Anismus which is obviously very painful. I am now Arthritic to around those areas? Is that normal? Also I use garlic each meal and that helps with mint before the meal.

... Will definitely ask on Wednesday! ... Another thing that DH could ask for on Wednesday is the name, model number and age (date placed in service) of the hospital's radiation equipment (linear accelerators, etc).

Feb21 VATS I have a couple more questions: 1. For your VATS procedure last year, did the surgeon or the oncologist mention that this surgery was done with "curative intent" - - i.e., that this was considered to be the final treatment for you? 2. If so, did any of the doctors mention trans...
