Hi their I was wondering if anyone could help /advise recommend any tips and “tricks” , products anything please , I’m looking for some help for my dad who doesn’t know I’m currently reaching out however I believe a story shared could benefit him with the help and experience from other people rather than a doctor let me go back to the beginning he was first diagnosed 3 years ago with anal cancer in the first stages , they informed him that he would have to revive chemotherapy and possibly have a stoma bag , hearing this news and unfortunately due to the people around him feeding him their negative thoughts and story on chemotherapy he was scared and out off by said such family member who advise him to naturally treat the chemo now me I was raging however it wasn’t my body theirfore I had to potentially wait and hope however from their it worsened due to placing natural products into the passage on the anal the hospital stated it was that , had cause said such infections leading to the draining of the abscess surgically where it has filled up the whole of both said bum cheecks and the whole inner of the back passage now at the time the cancer was far up in the tube however where they had to cut in surgery was about the top his spine to his from area of his testicals , after said operation they then placed a stoma bag so although he had not had chemo he had still end up with the stoma bag , after he had a recovered he then had a appointment where they explained that’s he was in stage 4 it’s had significantly grown and it’s has now shown mets in the liver so he then agreed to chemotherapy where he had 6 rounds on and off within these six rounds he has had nothing but water slimy blood mixed (still dose ) mucas leak which irritates and makes his bum more sore than it is which the doctors can’t explain what it is but they it’s normal however can it be normal but un explainable he was then treated for hepatitis b which unklowly he had it or was informed until the tablets where administered, but if I search what can hep b and what it can cause it can cause defects of the living schoris scaring if I’m correct of the pronounciation and also mets are similar I would just like another a opinion as I’m not sure what to believe from a outsider what dose it sound like ? , however within the round of chemo the tumor progressively got bigger but is now visually to they eye out of the tube from the back passage and sat like a ball on the inside of the bum cheecks to where your anus would open filling into his top of his bum crack had any one els ever experienced this , I’m not sure if it’s still atttached huger or lower from said tube or could it push it out of the body ? I have no clue when asked medically these questions they seems to say they don’t know how can you not know ? however they have now stopped the chemo and have recommend radiation but in the beginning he was told radiation is not as strong as chemo their fore they didn’t think they would of seen a positive response from the chemo lets alone radiation but now it’s as if they can stop his pain and shrink it really small said doctor but ( is it because it’s now viable outside the body) can only give it to him once a year is this palliative care as it wasn’t spoken about surely have to be a conversation , dose anyone have any recommendations on what he can use that won’t potentially feed or irritate the cancer or reduce discharge or pain also if anyone has any tips or advice on radiation or anything u have mentioned please feel free to get back to me I would much appreciate it , and why they do it or just generally anything I’m looking for some hope many thanks for taking the time to ready this may god bless you x.
