Just a update, I finally had my first Meeting with the consultant and colorectal nurse yesterday.After being told 3 weeks ago that i had cancer and would definitely require surgery and a stoma, i was told that the deeper biopsies showed no sign of cancer but it is pre cancerous.I've been booked into have a procedure on the 7th Jan called a Transanal Tumour Resection where they remove the tumour and biopsy again. Has anybody out there had this procedure done and how did it go? They told me there was a small chance of them finding cancer and if so radiotherapy would be the route to go. So a second question would be if anybody has been in the same boat where cancer was found after removal? Thanks Colm.

That's great that the biopsies have shown no signs of cancer but it's natural to wonder what might happen if cancer is discovered during your Transanal Tumour Resection.
While you're waiting for replies, it would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and proposed treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway.
