It started innocently enough. JL began to feel itching around the anus. Naturally he thought it was his hemorrhoids acting up again. As time passed, the itching gave way to pain and some bleeding. Still believing it was just a bad case of hemorrhoids, JL treated the problem with sitz baths and over-the-counter medication. Eventually a lesion opened, leaking foul drainage. At that point, JL thought he should see his doctor. Unfortunately, the diagnosis was so much more than hemorrhoids: JL had anal cancer.
