My Experience with Stage 2 Anal Cancer Treatment and Recovery

Stage 2 anal cancer. I finished chemo and radiation on June 12th. Yesterday, I had a digital exam of the rectum, and there are no signs of a tumor. I was fortunate to have proton therapy instead of conventional radiation. It was still brutal. The radiation burns are devastating. I found a cream called Jeans Creme on Amazon. It’s pricy, but it healed my skin in 2 days. It says you can start any time before or during radiation. I tried multitudes of different creams and remedies, none worked until Jeans Creme. I wish I could have started earlier and avoided the blisters, bleeding, and peeling. Hopefully, this will help you in your journey.

What wonderful news about your clear digital exam results! Recovery from radiation treatment can be challenging, and sharing specific product recommendations that provided relief during your healing process could be valuable information for others facing similar treatment side effects. The cancer community benefits greatly when members share their experiences with products or approaches that helped them manage treatment-related skin issues and recovery challenges.
