Welcome to the forum although im sorry you have found yourself here. I am coming up 11 months post treatment for anal cancer. I note you say inoperable but have you been offered any treatment. As far as I know most anal cancer is only treated with surgery if caught really early or as a last resort type thing if the standard treatment fails. Be as honest as you want. Sending hugs. Xx

thanks for response, due to other health conditions I have been deemed not fit enough for surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy. So no treatment just painkillers.
Im so sorry. You don't say what your other health issues are and you don't have to. Can you maybe get a second opinion. I don't know how much help this may be but on another forum I go on a lot of people have gone on the fodmap diet which seems to help with bowel habits if they have had issues but this has all been after treatment. Also if you come over to macmillan forum it is split into different cancer types, so if you join the anal cancer section and post there, everyone one is very supportive and its easier to speak with people in the same situation. I found it very helpful. More than happy to chat on here though if you prefer. Xx
Thanks, I didn’t realise that there were different parts, will certainly look into that. My other health conditions are not a secret, I have heart and respiratory failure.
