Rectum and anus was removed 5 years ago due to rectal cancer. I now have this and am about 3+ months late in treatment. The condition showed up on CT scan on Mar 17, 2003 but no one seemed to see the risk, even with my past history so I wasn't told. It was found this month due to a little yelling and bawling by the patient, ME. I was hurting so much and wanted to know WHY. I am told the performance (Shrinkage) will be 20 to 30% now. I am gonna fight anyway, will not give up. But did wonder if anyone has had experience in this type of cancer. Thank you Nita Nita P. Sat, 12 Jul 2003 00:00:00 GMT
