Cancer Survivors Network

I was just diagnosed with anal cancer. It was caught early, and I've been given a good prognosis. I know I'm blessed.

The problem is that I have received two different opinions from two excellent cancer centers, UNC and Duke. UNC said stage, but Duke isn't ready to stage it until after a PET Scan.

Before I go into asking questions, I'll just ask if anyone else has anal cancer.

Another thing I can't help but think about is if I will ever have a partner now. I have HIV and now this. Just feeling like no one will ever want me because of both HIV and the type of cancer I have.

I wish everyone on here well and appreciate any responses.
