Hi,

I was treated for anal cancer 3 years ago.

During my oncologist appointment following my routine 6 month CT scan I was told I had an "occurance" just behind my cervix. My oncologist examined me vaginally and said everything looked and felt normal.  He said he was booking me an urgent MRI scan.

When the appointment letter for the MRI scan came through it said "MRI Rectum".  Nobody had said anything about rectal cancer.  I called my hospital and spoke to a nurse who checked my records.  She said my oncologist had requested a pelvic and gynae MRI to include vagina and anus. I am still in the dark.  I don't know what they are looking for anymore. Can anyone who has been treated for cervical cancer tell me if they had a similar scan?
