If Anal Cancer Returns

Options to Colostomy?

Sandy

I am going with my sister tomorrow to a consultation with the surgeon and her medical oncologist. She completed the Nigro protocol, but a learned of a positive biopsy from a lump removed in the anal margin area yesterday.  My best guess is that they will recommend colostomy. I want to make sure we not only get a 2nd opinion; but if she gets this surgery (she is only 41, with 2 little girls), that she get the best surgeon and surgery choices possible. Can you please give me information about the surgeon you recommend, and anything you have heard about this reconstructive surgery?

 

Try the colorectal board, list your city and state and maybe hospital.  Maybe someone here can help to.  Sorry to hear about the bad news.
