Anal cancer

Hello Babymole 

I hope you heal quickly and well, stitches can pull and cause more pain unfortunately.  I will keep everything crossed that your MRI is clear too.

I had side effects but my nails weren't affected too much, and certainly not as badly as yours.  I didn't know about the cream either, it's a pity you weren't offered this.  I think even if they told you there was a cream that would help but it's not widely available on the NHS you could have made an informed decision whether to buy it or not.

Please let us know how your MRI goes.

Hi Babymole ,

I’m pleased to hear you’ve had your biopsy done & I completely sympathise with you with the stitches & discomfort as I had a local resection of my anal cancer prior to treatment & it really was sore!

Have they told you how long you should expect to have to wait for your biopsy results?

It’s great to hear your CT results were good, I’ve got everything crossed that your MRI results come back clear too. 

I don’t have any experience with the problems you’re having with your nails but it’s awful if there’s a cream that can help but the cost stops the NHS from providing it! I would like to say I’m surprised but unfortunately I’m not! I hope you manage to save your finger nails.

Thank you I will update on results when I get them 

Thank you 

Apparently they don’t tell you because of the cost I Definately would have asked if I had known about it my podiatrist told me yesterday xx
