Anal itching years later

Hello! I'm also coming up to 7 years and yep exactly the same. I did wonder if I'd written this post lol!! Every now again I get itching and soreness, sometimes a bit of bleeding after bowel movements from fissures, sometimes an ache like toothache in my bum, and general pain flare ups sitting down etc.  Each time I send myself into a tailspin and often go see the Dr for a quick internal exam.  Within a couple of weeks it settles again!! I'm trying to learn not to panic but its never easy. I tell myself I as long as its all normal then its fine and it'll go again and I too am very grateful! 

Obviously it goes without saying, do go get checked if you're worried, but yep what you've described is definitely the same for me.

So interesting to hear your symptom of aching like a toothache. My treatment finished at the end of November and I had my first post treatment scans yesterday - won’t get results for a few days. But I have developed exactly that kind of aching on the opposite side to where the tumour was - your description of what I’m feeling is spot on! Hoping to find out that it’s nothing to worry about. Trouble is, I’m finding out that we have to get used to the new normal, and that seems to be changing all the time!
