I recently had my 3 month scans post treatment for stage 4 anal cancer. 99% of my tumours are gone which is amazing. However I had to have a pet scan due to a couple of pesky lymph nodes. Turns out they’re nothing to worry about but the scan showed a new tumour just below the diaphragm. I’m utterly devastated. My consultant is holding off making a treatment decision until I’ve had another ct scan at the end of may. It’s possible it’s localised and quite treatable but it’s also possible that it’s the start of a spread that isn’t treatable. I stayed really positive during my initial treatment but now am feeling defeated. I don’t really know why I’m posting as I don’t have a question just needed to write this down, Thankx for reading
