Reaching the halfway point is a significant milestone that shows real strength and perseverance through this challenging treatment journey. The NIGRO protocol is intensive, and making it through each week of radiation while preparing for the next round of continuous chemotherapy takes tremendous courage that deserves recognition from this supportive community.

Don't be afraid to ask for pain killers, use your sitz bath a lot, keep with a low fiber diet. I'm one month out of NIGRO, it gets better. Sending prayers to you.
