Hi everyone. My mum was diagnosed with anal cancer in July 2019 after a biopsy on what was a suspected haemorrhoid. During the CT and MRI scans they found that it had spread to her liver and lungs and that any treatment would be palliative. It was then decided on the 7th August by the oncologist that she was too ill for any treatment at all which was hard to understand as she always looked so much healthier than she must have been. She passed away at age 56 on 22nd September 2019 (5 days before my 26th birthday) so about 9 weeks between diagnosis and death. I’m still struggling to get my head round this as she was such a healthy person though we were told many times she was much more ill than she looked. I’m posting here as I haven’t heard of anything similar or relatable on any posts yet.
