I'm new to this too . Never thought I would be an cancer victim  . Never  smoked in my life . Always been heathly . Then April this year went in to have hemorrhoids  removed and was told that I got anal cancer .. so I have had 28 days of chemo and radiotherapy  . Finishing it on the 19th  of July I suffered the worst week of radiotherapy  burns where I just couldn't  walk or doing anything the pain was unreal .. I get my results in the next couple of wks .. hoping that I'm clear .. the uncertainty  that you go though is awful .. I want to celebrate  but can't till I know ...  The waiting is the worst
