Hi I’ve never posted on the internet before but I found this forum and know I will benefit from it. I first found a lump on 4/5/21 in my anus, I called the doctor the same day and have been having treatment for very painful haemorrhoids up until 4/11/21 when I finally saw the surgeon who examined me. I was put on a waiting list and after passing huge blood clots I was taken for biopsy. I had the results 2 days ago and have been diagnosed with anal cancer. I am seeing an oncologist next week and due to start chemoradiation following a pep scan. It’s such a scary time, I am also worried about side effects as I have a 3 year old who I worry about seeing mummy ill. I’ve read on here some helpful tips for pain relief, I was wondering if anyone has continued to work through treatment and is it possible? Xx
Haha Louise that’s amazing! I’ve just had an iron infusion but will look at getting something for that definitely. Looks like I’m going to Holland and Barrett 
So you start your treatment on Monday the 21st of Feb if so, so do I good luck and let’s hope we done have side effects like their saying is possible
