Hi , I have been reading your posts on the forums for a couple of weeks now and only just found the courage to sign up as I found so much support being given I thought this would definitely help me on this journey.
I am on day 18 of chemo/radiotherapy for anal cancer. I was diagnosed in March this year after a surgery on what was thought to be a haemorrhoid. Very lucky to have it diagnosed at early stages . I am trying my best to keep positive as the treatment is quite harsh and have now started to suffer from painful skin area and fatigue .
I wish everyone that is in my position a smooth and successful treatment path.
thank you
Hi Minty2 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 glad that you feel happy to sign up after you've seen the support that's available. The best way to access that support is to join the forum specific for your cancer. So with that in mind, I'm going to recommend that you join the anal cancer forum which is a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support.
To join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
It would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment to date 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.
