Hi....newly diagnosed with anal cancer, awaiting appointment to discuss treatment plan.

I am experiencing quite a bit of discomfort and finding it difficult to sit or lay comfortably, is this quite common.

Still just in a bit of a daze with it all at the moment

  • Hello,

    sorry you’ve joined us, but welcome, there’s lots of support and good advice here and I’ve found it very helpful getting through treatment ( I’m one week post treatment)

    yes I was in a great deal of pain before treatment, as are a lot of us, it felt like I was sitting on a serrated knife! Amazingly this subsided after about the second radiotherapy treatment!

    It’s a scary time between diagnosis and treatment   Lots of scans, waiting, appointments, phone calls till every things in place , but once you have a plan, and a date it gets more manageable 

    wishing you all the best
