Finished week 5 of radiation/chemo and experiencing issues

I have stage 3 colon cancer and just finished up week 5 of radiation / chemo and I am miserable today...my ass is killing me...I shit out broken glass all day and my but cheeks are feeling sunburnt like no other. My Dr says this is normal and does not offer much for the pain...I am using prep H w/ 5% and lots of Vaseline....is this normal / how long does this last??

....5 more treatments left, then chemo (folfox) for 4 months....
