Hi @shannynicksen, You are still very new at this, and I'm sure your head is still spinning from the shock of it all. You mentioned in another post that you are a never smoker. Do you know if your doctor order biomarker testing on your biopsy samples? Sometimes they don't on early stage cancers, do you know what stage are you? Have you met with an oncologist yet?

I have seen Dr. Cosgrove @compass Oncology in Vancouver, Wa.
He told me yesterday after getting the gene testing that he feels my C is from my anal cancer in 2019. ???
He said if I don’t do the treatment I may live 9-12 mos. If I do the treatment I may live 1-2 yrs. OMG
The treatment is very toxic & could also kill me.
I was hoping I could get a 2nd opinion from your clinic?
Thank you for reaching out to me. Yes I am in a pretty sad emotional state.
