    In your list of questions, I hope you include one asking this doctor how many cases of anal cancer he has seen and treated. You do not want to be his first. Experience with this disease among physicians, even specialists, seems to be lacking in some parts of the country. I would agree that seeing a physician who is in a big city and associated with a large practice/hospital/facility might be a good idea if you get some bad vibes from your appt. tomorrow. Just keep in mind that the treatment for anal cancer is pretty straightforward, as outlined in the NCCN guidelines. If you haven't already done so, please register on their site, print out the guidelines, review them, then take them with you to your appt. I would want to make sure that your doctor is already familiar with them.

    I wish you the best tomorrow.

    Thank you so much
    for taking the time to help me with all my questions--your advice/experience along with everyone on this board has truly been helpful beyond belief!

    unfortunatly my good pc is getting fixed and i have no way to print off this netbook==
    wont be fixed and hooked back up until AFTER my appt. and there is no way I am taking a chance of that coming off the printer at work when my office is 1/2 a office away from the printer--my luck lately the boss will be standing there waitng for something he printed and out comes info on anal cancer OH MY!!! the thought is chilling!

    My surgeon that did my hemmy told me that if he was diagnosed as me, this would be his Dr of choice soooo I will see what I FEEL about the dude tomorrow.

    and good point about how many cases he has treated I have learned that this cancer is way different than any other--I will ask that for sure! TY

    The NCCN guidelines are giving me a problem--I cannot find "anal cancer" anyplace,

    Thank you again
    XO

    NCCN
    If you completed the registration process, all you need to do is click on "NCCN Guidelines" in the bar at the top of the homepage. A drop down will appear--click on "Treatment of Cancer by Site." All diseases will appear to the right. Just go down and click on Anal Cancer. I hope this helps.
