Hi, like you all, don’t really want to be here, but great to be able to share fears and support others. I was first referred to hospital in March after like so many other people being treated for piles. Consultant I saw, after examining me, sent me for Colonoscopy, CT and and MRI scans. Had colonoscopy beginning of April and was diagnosed with colorectal cancer, biopsies came back and I had Squamous cell carcinoma, anal cancer with a couple of enlarged lymph nodes in same area. I was then referred to a different Consultant and had to go for a Pet CT scan. I am now waiting to see Consultant next week at different hospital, hoping Pet CT scan shows the same, or maybe better, you can always hope ! Just hope treatment begins soon, as a lot of you have said, the waiting is the worst!
