Hi and welcome to this little corner of the Online Community, although I am sorry to see you finding us.
These are extraordinary times in the NHS and with it has come lots of questions and how do you get answers and I can totally understand your confusion with regards to it having a scan and just a phone conversation.
I was diagnosed with a totally different type of cancer back in 1999 and the one thing I have come to understand is consultants on the whole, know how the cancers they specialise in can develop. I am sure that if they thought it was essential that a scan be done they would do it........ but is it safer for you not to be going to hospital at this specific time?
Why not call your Specialist Nurse or the Clinic and talk with someone about your concerns.
Talking with people who are on the same type of cancer journey can help a lot so can I direct you to our very supportive Anal cancer group.
Posting in this group will open up your concerns to a wider group of people who know exactly what you are going through at the moment.
Follow the link I've created, join the group, then hit ‘start a discussion’ and you are ready to go.
You could then copy and paste the information from this first post into your new discussion or you can also join in with existing ‘discussions’ by clicking on 'reply'.
((hugs)) from a distance.
