Hello,

I have been told today that I have a form of anal cancer following a colonoscopy/biopsy I had a couple of weeks ago. An MRI showed the tumour as aT1-T2 but I’m having an ERUS next week to confirm this. I’ve also been told I now need a CT-PET scan.  

Im feeling pretty scared about what treatments will be needed as my consultant mentioned chemo/radiation on the phone today. I had in my mind that it would just be a removal.

I have an 11 year old and 9 year old and I’m worried about the effect this will have on them.

I’m hoping that this group will help me navigate through everything.

  • Hey Georgie . So sorry to hear that you find yourself here and I hope that by now you have your plan in place things are getting easier.  

    I am 4yrs cancer free and was stage 3 from this cancer and just wanted to reassure you that although you have a challenging journey ahead this is a very responsive treatment with excellent results and this group will really support you through.  

    Wishing you all the best x
