Anal cancer

Does anyone on here had Anal cancer. I visited my doctor the beginning of this week who found a lump in my anus and I have been referred to the hospital for possible biopsy. The letter said I will be contacted within two weeks to get an appointment. It’s only gone a week and I have not heard anything and feeling very stressed. Very shocked as I am only in my sixties and never smoked or took any risks that are seen to promote this type of cancer. Hopefully It comes out negative when I have the biopsy but you always think the worst. Thankyou

I'm really pleased there's nothing to worry about in relation to this. Just need to waiting for the results from the scans to see if any cancer was left. My biopsy results took 12 days before I heard. Keep updating me as you go along and I will do the same. Its nice well not nice but you know what i mean to have someone who is going through the same thing at the same time to talk to x

Hi babyg3317, Happy New Year. Let’s hope it’s a good one for all of us on here. I justed wanted to ask you if you had to have a covid test before you went in for your treatment? I had to have one before my sigmoidoscopy but they don’t seem to have requested that I have one this time and I go to the hospital this Thursday! Just wondering x

Hi happy new year to you too we had a quiet one but it was nice. I had to have a covid test for my sigmoidoscopy too but haven't for anything since. The sigmoidoscopy was done at a different hospital so this could be why. When is your MRI? BTW I've sent you a friend request.

Hi again. I had my sigmoidoscopy at a hospital treatment centre which is separate from the hospital so it may be the same for me. I have my MRI on Thursday so not long to go at all. I have tried to not think about it over the Christmas holiday so now this appointment is coming up you start worrying a little bit! It’s easy to keep saying think positive and I should but sometimes I get that little niggle. Let’s get Thursday over with! X
