Anal cancer

Hi Jester 

I see you have managed to find the Anal cancer group . The treatment is slightly different to colorectal cancer so they may have more insights for you .

Hope you get some relief as that sounds very painful .

Take care ,

Sorry Jester  i thought I replied to you on the bowel thread ! 

Hi Jester

i was diagnosed with advanced stage 4 N1 anal cancer November 21, I had  to have a stoma a month later start my treatment in the February and finished last April I still get pain a throbbing one and like a pressure there, iv been on oramorph from day one and still have it everyday, I normally have it after my first going a toilet, as I have mucus that comes away and it’s aways after that that the pain started, when I asked my oncologist if the tumour has now gone and I’m in remission why am I still getting the same pain that I was getting before I started treatment he just said it’s where you have had radiotherapy, I said but it the same pain he didn’t say anything else, iv got my 3rd MRI next week and see him again in April so I will ask again, maybe you should ask for some oramorph it’s been a hod send I don’t have much just 3 mls but it’s enough to carry on through the day without a pulsating pain. 

pleade don’t suffer and ask for pain relief hope you get it sorted

Hello Laura, thanks for your reply. I won't take oramorph because it just bungs me up. I take brufen, but it doesn't kill the pain, but I dare not risk constipation. They changed my morphine and I became impacted - mg never imagined such pain existed. I do have the pulsing pain 24/7, but will take Laxido again, following a message on here from a fellow sufferer.Do you still lose the mucous - I do x
