I have woken up with very painful under arms.  Not on any treatment yet as I am waiting to hear what pathway they are going to treat my cancer on. I hope this not a bad sign.

  • Hi  I have not come across this symptom before in relation to anal cancer. It may be something entirely unrelated to your diagnosis, but obviously after such a diagnosis we worry that every new ache and pain is related to it.  Please give your treating team a call in the morning and if you feel you need to, seek  medical advice via your nearest walk in centre today.

  • Hello ZPN, I haven't heard of this either.  It is obviously so worrying for you, but I must admit I am baffled.  As Bev says mention it to the team treating you, but hopefully it is something entirely unconnected.  Please let us know if this eases off.
