in Anal Cancer #1

Greetings Everyone,
Hope this finds everyone doing well and thriving. I am post anal cancer July 2021 post chemo radiation, have been getting manual rectal exams with anoscopy in the clinic now scheduled for High resolution anoscopy under the ultrasound and scope in the clinic that takes a more extensive look and possible biopsies if needed in the exam room without sedation and I am petrified. Is this painful? Should I request a Valium or demand it under sedation? Thoughts and advice is welcomed.
Thank you for your feedback.
Regards PZ

    I would request something! Mine were always under anesthesia due to my constant pain.
