Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Rectal cancer is very notorious in spread.
In my opinion you are having stage 4 disease, thats why surgery was not done.
For stage 4 rectal cancer, only palliative treatment in the form of chemotherapy and radiotherapy is given.
Radiotherapy causes tissue destruction, pain is inevitable. You have to take centrally acting painkiller to reduce suffering.
And honestly speaking, this is incurable disease. Palliative chemotherapy and radiotherapy is only to reduce suffering.
It will not cure. Better to accept the situation and fate.
