Lorraine shares her experience of living with PRD following treatment for anal cancer. Living with bowel symptoms, fear of accidents, ongoing pain and a loss of confidence, her story highlights the realities many people face after pelvic radiotherapy.
“This has affected my confidence in leaving the house because I cannot walk anywhere without pain, and I have totally lost confidence in case I have more embarrassing accidents.”
