Secondary cancer after anal cancer

Hi there, my mum has had anal cancer previously and had radiotherapy and chemotherapy. She had amazing results and the tumour was gone and she got the all clear six months ago.

Unfortunately she has found out this week that it’s come back and it’s in her lymph nodes, neck pelvis and abdomen…and they have said it’s not curable however it’s not as yet in any of her organs. They are putting her on immunotherapy, and 2 types of chemo. Think they said it was a carcinoma or something.

it’s apparently quite a rare cancer anal cancer and reaccurance is also quite unlikely.

it would just be good to hear about anyone else’s experience as to what to expect? I’ve come to believe they can treat it and she could like quite a long time with the cancer.

just looking to connect and get bit more insight and info

Very much appreciated. We are just all upset that it’s back.
