    When i got diagnosed in oct 23’, i also had an external tumor (that i named Igor.. all the techs knew his name lol). i had the regular treatment for this cancer although radiation levels were a bit higher since i had Igor. i’ve been in remission for 20 months now.

    depending on what stage your dad is, will determine the strength of his treatment. i wish him well

    Hello, I too have an external tumor on my anus. I have two more weeks of radiation to complete. The tumor has gotten smaller and I hope these last two weeks will be successful in making it disappear entirely. I would love to hear from others like myself. Please share your story with me. Thank you.
