1 year 8 days Post Treatment. Doctor visit revealed severe anal infection from ulcer. Very painful and stingy hard to walk and sit period also sometimes very brutally itchy. Epsom salt baths leave area dry and stingy.

Beat Cancer to leave me in this mess. Complications from Cancer Treatment. Not healing stumped Cancer Doctors. CT scan and biopsy shows Cancer Gone. Possible surgical biopsy introduced ulcer to infection.

 

Summer time nobody around new students switching time.

 

Waiting to see Contagious Diseases Clinic for possible intravanious Antibiotics treatment with the 'dreaded PICC Line' ...again!

 

Also need We are to 'pack and clean ulcer Daily. Hopefully not until I start antibiotics....too raw to be touched! Moonrock feeling.

 Switched from Percasets to Hydromorphone. Morphine no good for pain make u feel like Zombie! Percasets better for pain less drowsy.

Still on PEG daily. No fun no Summer Just Continuous Misery!!

    Have they offered hyperbaric therapy? I know it has its uses post treatment. Worth a discussion with your consultant at least
