5 More to go! I can definately say for me the radiation is worse than the chemo, if it was just chemo it would be a breeze. Anyone else have the same thoughts? The burns on the anus are the worst! I started using creams before I even got burned and it still didn't help. Sitz bathes and the corizone cream triamcinilone alternating with pure aloe are pretty helpful in soothing it if anyone else needs that info. Two more weeks of continuous chemo and then 6 weeks to recoop before surgery. Boy, this is a long process isn't it!
