    2changes, I'm sorry no one

    2changes, I'm sorry no one has answered, but I am not sure I have seen anyone on the boards during the past two years that has asked/answered this.  Perhaps someone has and will chime in.  Have you tried the Colorectal cancer chat?  They may be have similar side effects if they have received radiation.  I'm so sorry to hear you are suffering like this.  If the Colorectal cancer chat room on the CSN pages is slow, there may be other chat rooms that can help.  Hugs darlin'!

    Dear 2changes, I'm glad your

    Dear 2changes, I'm glad your doctor is treating your infection and hope this will give you relief from some of the pain you have. I know that infections can be horrible and cause great pain. I also hope this up and coming chemo will offer a good outcome for you.

    Love and hugs to you
