Hi all

I just recently diagnosed with rectal cancer then it spread to my liver and now on my lymph node on my right groin

But for 8 weeks was told it was an anal fissure

I am scared I have good days and bad days too

Im having chemo to see if it will shrink but at moment its in my liver a lot more then after my 4th session I'm going to have another scan and see from the results what the next plan of action is

Thank you for replying. It's a bit of a shock as I was told for nearly 7weeks its just anal fissure tear

Really hope the treatment works for you. Ive got my colonoscopy which theyve rushed through this morning. Ive got a 10cm lesion on my liver so am not too hopeful on the outcome today.
