Diagnosed with anal cancer

Hi there

Within the last 6 weeks I have been diagnosed with anal cancer and had surgery to remove a 2 - 3 cm lump just inside my rectum.

Still incontinent from the surgery at times and now waiting to see the anal cancer team to find out what next.

They mentioned watch and wait or the need for cheno/radiotherapy

  • Hello Crochetmad and welcome to Cancer Chat,

    I can imagine the last six weeks haven't been easy, but I hope you hear from you medical team soon to discuss the next steps. In the meantime, if you have any questions or would to read further you call our free and confidential nurse helpline on 0808 800 4040 (lines are open 9 to 5 Monday to Friday) or you can refer to the anal cancer hub on our website anytime.

    Let us know how things get on and I hope this is useful,
