in Anal Cancer #1

Hi all - I have CRC with liver mets - have had many chemo treatments and have developed a fissure or tear.  I go from constipation to  diarrhea every chemo treatment and I think the irritation has caused this tear. Having extremely painful bm's.  Using anusol (suppositories are very painful to insert).  Taking 2-3 baths each day, but can't seem to heal area.  I will be having ongoing chemo, so the chemo will probably make it harder to heal.  Does anyone have any suggestions for me that worked for them?  I would really appreciate any help.

    Fissure

    ive had this problem off and on for a year so I can commiserate with you except that I've had diarrhea literally for a year. Nothing helped no meds with the diarrhea they final said I have C-Diff a infection in my colon that they can't get rid of. With the infection came the orders to not take any anti-diarrheal meds either so the majority of my day every day is spent on the pot. The only thing that I've done differently is use Corona cream I think I own ever cream or ointment known to man or woman kind th there is and the Corona cream after the lidocaine ointment after the sitz bath is what I have been doing. Now know that the fissure has never healed completely but it gets better and then worse. I don't know if this will help you but at least you'll know your not alone. My prayers and hope are to you that it heals and doesn't come back.

    Hi Kim - is the corona cream applied externally or internally?  I am still using anusol plus internally and taking about 3 sitz baths per day - still working on it.  Not healed yet.  Very hard to heal, especially with ongoing chemo.  Thanks for your input.

    Corona cream

    I use it on both but not far inside. I'm finished with radiation I'm just doing chemo and Alamo finished with the IV chemo then I will go on the pill but I use also Nupercainal ointment too it works better than lidocaine ointm or that's my opinion and I use it inside and outside both. I sure wish and hope you have some relief.
