Hi everyone, I’m currently halfway through radiation treatment, and I’ve been noticing that I crash completely about 2–3 hours after each session. It feels like my energy just disappears, and I need to lie down for the rest of the day. I expected some fatigue, but I didn’t realize it would hit this hard, this early. Has…
I've had radiation treatment twice for breast cancer in 2009 and 2019. In 2021, I developed four atypical vascular lesions on my mastectomy scar.

I was getting ready to go to work (two days ago) when I was struck by the most incredible pain on my left side/flank. Something was very wrong. For about 30 seconds I thought I could drive myself to the ER but realized that an ambulance was needed (texted family who called 911 for me). I simply cannot describe the pain and…
I was diagnosed with a supposedly benign bone tumor in my hand when I was 27. It was removed then and grafted, with good margins, but it came back 9 years later. Another surgeon removed it again, but it grew back for a 3rd time 3 years later. The surgeon insisted it had to be benign (because bone tumors in the hand are…
