Using a condom in case of Cancer and Hepatitis
BS"D Shalom Rav, I would like to pose the following question. A friend of mine was recently diagnosed with a highly malignant Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, R"L.
To whom this may concern,
I am 48 year old women with many health issues. I am in the following medications: oroxine, digoxin, sotacor, dostinex, lyrica, endep, lipidil, Crestor and aldactone. In the past I have taken my medication with a shiur of water.
I don't have kidney failure . My creatinine level was 66 on august 27 th.
However, three weeks ago I commenced a diabetic medication known as metformin. My endocrinologist said that I need to drink 1 to 1.5 litres of water while I am fasting and should eat if I feel very unwell.
Can you please advise me on what I should do halachically.
Thank you,

Dear Mrs. Waller,
We advise you to follow the recommendations of your Doctor. You may drink 1-1.5 litres during Yom Kippur by "Shiurim": you can drink 40 milliliters every 5-7 minutes. You may rest during the day and of course take your chronic medications. If you fill unwell you may measure your blood-glucose by glucometer as needed and eat if you have low sugar.

שלום,אתחיל בכך שאודה באם שאלתי תישאר אנונימית ובכלל אם לא תפורסם. בעלי ואני נשואים שנתיים וחצי יש לנו בן בכור בן שנה וחצי. מאז לידתו
אשתי סובל מפיסורה קשה. האם ניתן לקחת תרופה זו ע"מ שהיציאות יהיו פחות כואבות?
אל כבוד הרבנים הגאונים שליט"א אחדשה"ט בעת לומדי דבר ה' – זו הלכה, נתעוררו אצלי כמה שאלות, ותורה היא וללמוד אני צריך, ונפשי בשאלתי מאת
