Hi I was diagnosed With anal cancer six weeks ago and I am looking for advice from anyone that has had papilion treatment or anyone that has information on it .I am awaiting an appointment .The hospital I am at have advised a Colostomy bag and seem anti papillon treatment but would still like to explore this option. 

Many advice would be appreciated and any one who has had it good or bad out comes .Just need some opinions ...feeling a bit lonely and scared as hell .

    Hi J, 

    I was diagnosed Dec 18;after a chat with my consultant I too was offered an operation that would result in a bag for life but also the non standard treatment. I opted for the non standard treatment. 
    I was fortunate to be accepted for treatment and paid two visits. After the second I was told that there was no sign of the cancer but I would need to have chemo and radio therapy to make sure it hadn't spread. 
    I was told at the end of the treatment I was cancer free and today I have had a further colonoscopy with no sign of the cancer. 
    I hope this helps as it is a scary time but there is light at the end of the tunnel
