I had stage 3B anal cancer at 40. I was treated at Roswell Park in Buffalo I had the Nigro protocol treatment. I’ve been well for 20 years. I beg you to get him treated right away. Mine had spread to my lymph nodes in the right and left side of my stomach. Your son can survive this!

May I ask if you had to have an colostomy bag? He was told that he would have to which is his biggest fear. He is a Chiropractor and owns his own business and is struggling to understand what the impact will be on his life, especially at his young age 😢

We are on it. Just received the diagnosis on Wednesday. He filled out the form to request an appointment at Mayo this morning. Keeping my fingers crossed that he can be seen sooner rather than later.
Thanks for your words of encouragement ❤️
