Went through pelvic radiation (along with chemo) before my rectal cancer surgery a while back. It definitely helped shrink the tumor, but the side effects during treatment were rough – skin burns/irritation (like a bad sunburn down there), fatigue, diarrhea, bladder irritation. For those going through it now (like John Smith maybe?) or those who remember it well, what tips helped you cope with the daily grind of radiation side effects?
