I was Diagnosed with anal cancer in July I had radiotherapy and two weeks of chemotherapy . On my first follow-up scan showed that the tumour had shrunk but not gone And it showed abnormal lymph-node’s that wasn’t on my original scan I was told I had to wait three more months but now my scan has been cancelled I have a phone consultation on the 7th of May but if I don’t get a new scan first I don’t know what the doctor can really say. I’m worried as I have started with a lot of discomfort when sitting & getting up . I’v got pain in my pelvis and lower abdomen I’ve also got a discharge and a very unpleasant smell its not pleasant I have not always got control of my bowels as well. I know everything is difficult with what’s going on with the coronavirus but I’m worried about how fast the tumour grow & the size it was happened quickly so my fear is waiting and waiting may end up being anything that can be done & im only 56 & single with a 12 year old daughter with disabilities & my family are worried & don’t understand why we are left so long between appointments. Can anyone give me advice or support thank you m pugg
