Worried this might be anal cancer

@roywalton ,
Well, I would, but my primary says check with the gastroenterologists. And, the gastroenterologists recommend the colonoscopy. For whatever reason, they don’t want to order any scans or blood test for cancer markers. I guess I can try another medical facility.

That's right. If the colonoscopy finds cancer, THEN you would likely have a CAT scan, maybe a CEA blood test as well, to help guide the need for surgery and possibly chemo. Take tge steps, try to be informed as best as you can....ask questions be your own advocate!
