Great questions - unfortunately, even though fibrosis can be improved, it is permanent. Sometimes people need to use dilators lifelong, but maybe just 1-2 per week to keep the tissues pliable. Check with your medical provider for guidance 😊
@@sheela4537 yes, hyperbaric oxygen can help with some effects from radiation therapy. Great conversation to have with your medical provider to see if it might help your symptoms!
It's more important that before you even make a decision you're oncologist your radiation oncologist and her team or his team should present these loud and clearly before a patient makes her decisions.
@@capone1074 I'm having my last radiation this Friday I finished chemotherapy already. Keeping it strong 💪 I'll have an MRI done next week to see my progress. I'm trusting my Lord Jesus Christ 🙏 that everything comes out cured and gone for ever.

Are the long term side effects permanent, and do you have to use rectal dilators forever?

@@TrudyContos-gq1bw absolutely agree - education before, during, and after treatment is key
Why did No one tell me this???
Please have the patients speak for themselves their isn't any one thats on these casts that hasnt complained of severe side effects ..
I'm in my last week of radiation and I'm so scared because this week it was so painful to urinate and defecate 😢 I want to quit.
You got this
How’d it go?
