Support groups for women who have had **** cancer
 

I was wondering if anyone knew of a good online support group for women whose lives have been turned upside-down following the diagnosis and aggressive radiation and chemo for a.n.a.l cancer. I have a friend who could really benefit from others who understand and have experienced the pain and trauma. Most support groups I have found are for breast cancer.

Any help will be appreciated.

If i may ask
 

are you speaking of
**** HPV virus
or something entirely
different
i am
a difficult diagnosis
but fixable
and you will be
just fine in good hands
support group is necessary
ASAP

all in Gods hands
Amen

My friend was diagnosed with a.n.a.l cancer and has had chemo, radiation, and is left with pain and brittle bones and no appetite. I am looking for a support group for her.

Since a.n.a.l cancer is pretty rare; might be pretty difficult to find a support group dealing with that issue.

September 2012 will be two years since a 3" cancerous tumor was discovered on my rectum during a Colonoscopy. I have had rectum removed. Since tumor was at the top of rectum, muscle was able to be attached to remaining colon as well as "that area", I do not have a bag.

But since "that area" (omitting the word since sometimes certain words, etc. are deleted) is handling more than it was meant to and am often in quite a bit of pain internally, as well as externally. I do fear there is a good chance this will eventually turn cancerous as well.

Your friend might be better able to find a support group dealing with rectal cancer since the two areas are so closely related and issues can have some similarity and concerns.
