...of 38 and I do not like using the? word anal cancer to people, it sounds horrible, so is there another word for it? If so what is it? And with this kind of desease is it normal to have a red thick dry perianal with it? And a lump outside of the bum wall is that normal for this disease? My lymp nodes in my groin region is up and tender. So anyone out there that can tell me if it is normal to have a red thick dry perianal with this cancer and if it is also normal to have a lump outside of the bum? Thank you and God bless you
