Possible Anal or Perianal Cancer
I know everyone is different and only the report will tell us what is wrong but just really trying to find some help on it, I just constantly worry.
Thanks

Don't panic!
It actually sounds just a little bit like part of my experience with anal cancer, and it makes sense that they want to biopsy to be safe. If it is cancer, the sooner it is treated the better off your mom will be - and anal cancer has a great recovery rate. And it sounds like they do just want to be on the safe side. My doctor was pretty sure mine was cancer as soon as he looked in me. And it is really good they are checking for cancer early - a lot of people spent a couple of years being told they had hemorrhoids while their tumors grew!
Good luck!

Thanks for your response, its
Thanks for your response, its nice hearing from other people who know about this. Is rough skin something very alarming to that area. Was your symptoms close to the same? Her biopsy was skin from the outside, could there be something going on also in the inside?0 -

Thanks for your response, its nice hearing from other people who know about this. Is rough skin something very alarming to that area. Was your symptoms close to the same? Her biopsy was skin from the outside, could there be something going on also in the inside?I had bloody mucous after BM that finally made me get to doctor. But on and off for at least a year I had awful "butt crack itch". I have wondered sometimes if there was any connection, which is why those symptoms caught my eye. I really don't think there was, and I am hoping that her biopsy comes back benign. You will keep us posted, I hope!

My Mom got her results back
My Mom got her results back and it is Cancer but its Skin Cancer - Basal Cell, waiting to consult with a Surgeon about removal but Dr. said this is very treatable. My Mom has already removed a Melanoma back in 2013 with success so we'll remove this one as well!
Thanks for your replies Salsify, I'll update later once we have a full game plan to remove.0 -

I'm glad your mom ended up with "only" basal cell cancer. A lot of relief she doesn't have to do radiation or chemo!

Thanks all for the kind
Thanks all for the kind responses.
Just hope we can get this cut out and get all of it in one go and put it behind us. He said he doesn't see this very often in this area so its hard to find a lot of info on BCC in that location to know if its really different then any other part of the body. I had found a few reports of it and they are mainly treated with wide excision to make sure to get clear margins and its still rare to recur.0
