Hi guys.

I'm not used to this sort of thing but I was diagnosed with anal cancer on 20th May by letter. It was a bit of a shock.

I've not been able to speak to anyone from the hospital etc since I had the original endoscopy on 28th April. So have been left to my own devices. Covid seems to have had quite an impact. I'm in Cornwall. So we only have the one hospital!

Any advice or help would be great.

Many thanks

Thanks Nikki65. We have booked a cottage in Devon from the 17th May and we'll be celebrating then.

I will still check in on here from time to time. xx

Thank you Mecca, It was a tough road for me because there was such a long gap from the initial discovery/diagnosis until the treatment started which left the tumour to continue to grow aggressively and contaminate my bowel wall, right side groin and lymph nodes too. I got through it but don't want to play that game again lol!! xx
