Hi Roxi1234, 

I noticed you haven't had a reply yet, so I just wanted to welcome you to the forum and reassure you that your post has been seen.

I'm sorry to hear you've been diagnosed with anal cancer. This must be a very difficult time but I hope it helps to know that you are not alone as many of our members have been on this journey as well, and hopefully you will get to hear about their experiences soon.

I hope the reply you received from our nurses to your other post has helped to ease your mind about your upcoming treatment, but if you have any further questions or concerns you'd like to discuss, you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all they can to support you.

I know this journey will be hard, but we are here for you Roxi1234 and sending all our strength and support your way. 

Kind regards,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator

Hi Steph,

Thanks for kind words of reassurance.
I have now told to my immediate family and friends,feel so much better now not keeping big secret.I have received lots of messages of support too.

Knowing I'm not alone in this is helping.Once I start treatment I will feel as if I am dealing with beating cancer.Right now I am so frustrated waiting on word from hospital to get started.

Kind regards
