Hello all,
I am now coming up to 14 months post anal cancer treatment. It hasn’t been the easiest time as have struggled with back pain following treatment then more recently abdominal pain and inability to open bowels without loads of laxatives which was a new development. I had a CT colonoscopy last week but haven’t had results yet.
Just to add to everything I have just been diagnosed with cancer in both breasts. I found a lump by chance and was fast tracked. Despite all the scans the lumps hadn’t been picked up which seems a bit strange to me. I keep trying to be positive but feeling a little bit overwhelmed at the moment.
Apologies for offloading. Xx
