Please reach out to me. 42 year old Mom of 3 here and Mayo was able to cut mine out very near sphincter with robotic surgeon and colorectal surgeon working together to do so. So far, no colostomy. Doing my darkest to keep it that way. I also did rectal and pelvic radiation and chemo. No easy thing! But I’m doing well a year later.

Hi, @amariewilkinson, I am diagnosed as having a tumor 1 .4 cm away from anus. Can you share your hospital and surgeon info? Currently I am offered neoadjuvant therapy before surgery, but I am not sure whether this is the best option. I am concerned about spreading. Thanks.
