let me start by telling you a bit, in march this year i went to the docs about a freckle on my neck, he referred me to a dermatologist who did a biopsy, then rang me back a week later to say it was a malignant melanoma and had to be removed, fine job done, then in may i had op on bum to remove growths on inside of bum cheek only to be told anal squomous cell carcinoma, 6 weeks of radiation followed and am on the mend now and see my speciallist next week for hopefully good news. I am booked in to see my dermatologist at the end of november to get a cyst removed from my forehead - hopefully thats all it is, now while i am there i am going to get my toe checked as i have a mole on the side of my toe but i also have a big lump under the same toe, now my question is can you have cancer in your toes? could my lump be nothing? it has started hurting when i wear certain shoes so now wont wear them. Maybe i am being melodramatic but with already 2 cancer results this year i dont think i can handle any more, any advice etc would be grateful, Thank you ... View more

I had squamous cell carcinoma and the burns i got from the radiation were really bad that i could hardly walk, as the radiation burnt all my girlie bits as well. I have been told i cant have radiation in the same spot again so what happens if it wasnt successful, they say an operation but i already had one of them and that was painful enough, how will an operation cure the cancer if the radiation didn't. I am sorry to off load to you people but there is no one else i can ask and no one knows or understands how i am feeling. I dont know if any of you will truly understand cancer in the bum either but surely our thoughts on the word cancer are similar, my nurse said my cancer was similar to prostate cancer men getso i feel for all those men out there that get it, because i understand how it feels and what you go through. ...
