Not sure if anyone has experience with this, but have to ask. My brother is about to undergo chemoradiation for a rectal tumor(stage IV colorectal cancer), and a bidet will be quite helpful. He does have electricity in his bathroom, but not right by the toilet - however a power cord could probably resolve. I want to get him the best bidet possible - likely also one that can be gentle as there will be moments when he feels pretty burnt down there. Do you have recommendations on this? Best models?

Would like it to be as nice as possible to help him through the treatment and aftermath. Seems that an attachment would be best as he starts treatment on 5/27.

Hi there - my brother (stage IV spread to liver with one lung met) had a successful liver resection and hai pump installed. Next we are moving to chemoradiation - he did 5 rounds folfironox leaving only minimal residual disease for the original 4.5cm rectal tumor, but the doctors believe he will be best served to so the radiation.

He will start radiation soon and he will be doing 5.5 weeks and prefers to do capecitabine versus 5FU. He will also start HAI pump chemo at the same time.

Anyone do a similar treatment pattern and were there any concerns about capecitabine and liver?

Thanks!

Has anyone done radiation for rectal tumor with 5FU? My brother has that next after his liver resection surgery. He was a bit upset that he has to do 5FU versus oral meds but his oncologist said this is because of potential liver damage of oral meds. Just wondering what this is like because it’s 5.5 weeks with wearing the chemo ball 5 days a week.
