Received my diagnosis about 10 days ago. I’m waiting for an MRI on my liver as there are some spots on it. I’ve also been told I may need a de functioning stoma. Anyone else been through similar please. All new to me
Hi Oakwood51 and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm sorry to read that you've recently been diagnosed with anal cancer and it's natural to want to chat to others in a similar position.
I can see that you've already found and joined the anal cancer forum and I'm sure if you started a post there you'd find the other forum members happy to try and answer your questions and to share their experiences with you.
It would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and proposed treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
Wishing you all the best
