Anal cancer diagnosis - waiting for treatment and getting anxious

I have been recently diagnosed and feel so so low as I feel there is a stigma attached but am a happily married Middle Ages woman !! I am awaiting treatment and am getting so anxious I can’t sleep as the waiting list for oncology is unbelievable and is it spreading !!

  • Hello there C171, sorry my replies all muddled! Would love to keep in touch for mutual support, it is apparently a rare cancer so not much in the way of support out there. Hope you get a treatment plan soon. I imagined it travelling all around my lymphatic system - so many strange aches and pains, terrifying ! But the doctor said slow growing try not to panic. Time will tell I guess! X x
