Questions for oncologist consultation

I was in such shock that I didn't have any questions for my oncologist on the first visit. But he gave me his nurse's direct phone number so I could call with questions later. His nurses have been very helpful. I also read up a lot on the Mayo clinic site before I went. I was reassured when his course of treatment was exactly what I had read about. I had anal cancer which I guess is pretty rare but responds well to chemo and radiation.

I would like to know how you are doing. I was also diagnosed with anal cancer. I had radiation and chemo in February and March of 22 Dr says I am clear, but I still have trouble with incontinence. Questions I ask are How long will side effects last? When will I have another colonoscopy (which discovered the cancer) I still question whether the radiation caused nerve damage in pelvic area.
