HI

I wonder if you can confirm it was anal cancer both times please- or did you have lung cancer the second time? What treatment did you have the first time? Was it chemo radiation followed by surgery? In which case what surgery did you have? 

I was diagnosed with anal cancer in June 2019 and it is stage 3 but has not spread anywhere. I have had 5 weeks of intensive chemoradiation therapy which finished 4 weeks ago, and I am now awaiting a scan to see if it has shrunk enough to enable me to be operated upon.

many thanks

hi sean

it was anal cancer the 2nd time which had spread to lymph nodes in my chest and when I went in for the surgery to have the nodes removed they found the cancer was in my right lung. 
 

I had the same chemo radiotherapy as you the first time but no surgery was needed as there was no sign of the cancer so I was lucky there. 
 

im still well and have CT scans every 6 months. 
 

good luck with your scan.

Hi janna. I'm new on here. I've just finished treatment for anal cancer. 
how are you doing?  Hope you're ok x

Hello, I've just finished my chemotherapy and radiotherapy two days ago and am feeling lots of pain, (lots of shooting pain) and am so sore. Just wondering how long I'm going to feel so bad as I'm miserable.
