tomorrow i have a colonoscopy scheduled due to something irregular (mass/tumor/scar tissue?) that was picked up on an mri i had requested 2 months ago due to "feeling like i was sitting on something at times." after reading in here, I'm now really worried it might be in the vaginal area! i am 6.5 years post treatment for anal cancer. this is my first time having a concern since healing and recovery. please send good vibes to me. thx in advance.

  • Hello  

    The worry that the cancer may return is always there with all of us, but six and a half years is a really long time between treatment and recurrence.  But you certainly did the right thing in requesting further investigation.

    I am really hoping that what you are experiencing is scar tissue and inflammation.  I am not a medic, however, I am four and a half years out of treatment and I definitely have a new normal after radiotherapy and I find it really uncomfortable to sit on a hard chair.  

    I am sending lots of good wishes your way that everything will go smoothly today and your worries come to nothing.  But please let us know how you get on.

    Big hug

  • Hello Teletubby,

    I hope your colonoscopy only shows scar tissue or something totally benign. You are past the 5 year mark so hopefully nothing serious. I know it is always a concern tho. 

    Kindly,
