Hi everyone. I completed my treatment in August 2025 after initial surgery in July 2024. Caught early and all good.
My 12 month CT scan has shown a coincidental appendiceal mucocele and I’m now prepping for a colonoscopy on Tuesday and surgery sometime in November.
I’m assured this is not related to the treatment but it does make me wonder - and it’s a new rabbit hole to disappear into 
so I’m now facing an open appendectomy with a small bit of Cecum removed (they cannot do laparoscopically for risk of rupture) and depending what he finds worse case a right sided hemicolectomy. My fingers are firmly crossed for the lesser surgery.
If it wasn’t for the anal cancer this wouldn’t have been found so silver linings and all that.
if anyone has any experience please message back!

Hi AuroraHunter , firstly I’m pleased everything appears well on the anal cancer front, your path following diagnosis if I recall was very similar to my own, but I’m sorry that you’re now facing more surgery!
I’ve no personal knowledge of your new diagnosis & must admit that like Irene I had to have a bit of a google.
It seems that this could have gone unchecked for some time if it weren’t for that surveillance CT scan so I suppose you have to look on it as silver lining.
I hope your colonoscopy & subsequent surgery go well & you have a speedy recovery.
Take care.
Nicola
