Mucosal melanoma

I do not have exactly colon cancer but was diagnosed with a very rare and aggressive cancer in the rectum called Mucosal Melanoma, has anyone heard or experienced this. I have had lower bowl, rectum and lymph nodes removed and now have a stomach. Five year survival rate is very very low and need to speak to anyone who knows of or has experienced this.

As both a fighter and survivor of CRC, I implore you not to be discouraged. Please consider joining our FB groups such as Colontown, Faces of Cancer, Colon Club, and Colon cancer support group! These groups were of tremendous help and support to me when first diagnosed and I know they would be the same for you! #YouAreNOTalone
