You may have missed me over the last week or so, we have been in the wilds of the ish Highlands and called at the English Lake District for one night en route back. We just had to come back for an excellent talk at the York Prostate Cancer support group on ADT (hormone manipulation) by Mike Stower one of the urologists there, we had 35 at the event, one of the best attended support groups we have had.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Jim, I had a burning and/ or irritation there. Not too bad for me and I asked the doctor if I could use Preperation H Cream in the Anus. The radiologist approved. It helped me with the inflamation and the hot or burning feeling. Please ask you doctor/radiologist. Mine had never thought about that until I asked and he approved. It worked to take the infamation away and irritation and etc. Hope this helps Jim. Tom W.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 THANK YOU TOM..and I've now got some of the Cranberry pills...and will get some of the Prep H also. BUT..so far no problems with the anus area...just burning when I pee. I find that if I sit down it makes it easier..! SURE APPRECIATE any suggestions you can share. Two bad nights..with the 6th and 7th treatment...but THINK the cranberry pills will help.! The oncologist checked me out yesterday..and was happy no visible burning from the radiation. He has some CREAM available..but suggested waiting with it until it is needed. THANK AGAIN... Jim... To: ProstateCancerSupport Sent: Tue, May 18, 2010 3:44:05 PMSubject: Re: How are you?
