Hi I'm not in your position but I did want to reach out. 

My partner is currently waiting for biopsy results, CT and MRI scan for a large (10cm) growth in the anal canal and rectum. I feel he is potentially a few weeks behind where you are.

I'm here if you need a sounding board. It's quite a rare cancer I know but there must be others on here with it so I hope some of them connect with you for support.

Hi 

Thank you so much for reaching out.

I probably am a few weeks ahead of your partner. My growth is around 8cm and I have had the MRI and CT scans, they are a breeze nothing to worry about you just have to lay still and the staff are so nice.
My first biopsy results came back "no evidence of malignancy" and i was so relieved but I had to have more biopsies taken under a general anaesthetic as the original doctor who did the colonoscopy was sure it was cancer. Sure enough after 10 days these results came back this Wednesday as positive. 
I am now waiting to be transferred to hospital for treatment.

I hope your partner gets his results soon and that his growth is benign, the results take about 10 days and it's hard waiting for them.

Here for you too

Do you have someone to support you with it all? Have your doctors explained treatment and expectations to you?

I don't really know anything about it at the moment and was hoping someone who's in the same position might respond to you. Can I ask are you often uncomfortable and in pain? My partner's practically housebound by it now and he really struggles to travel in the car. I have no idea if it can be something which isn't cancer.

Hope I'm making some sense x
