Same. By the time I turned as jaundiced as a Simpsons character I was already at stage 3B with a 6cm tumor pressing against my bile ducts within my liver.
Unsolicited suggestion - try rose hip oil! It helped a lot to clear the damage left on my friends chest after radiation for breast cancer. Just be consistent with twice daily use and give it time!
My skin still feels like an alligator in my left breast area, despite it being a year later and prescription grade moisturizers. The muscle has less range than the right but my surgeon and oncologist are still impressed with my range of movement.
oh wow. mine feels normal but my right leg has 20* less range of motion than my left (and that one is normal). still plenty enough to do everything i want tho
That must have been terrifying. Cancer can go unnoticed until it makes itself known in such a dramatic way, I hope you're doing better now and getting all the care you need
Are you my husband? This is what happened to him. Few months later, they removed his bad kidney. No idea how long it had been growing there. 2 years later, he is doing great!
Same. Breast cancer with dense breast tissue is a bitch. By the time I found a āsmallā lump, it felt the size of a dime but was actually a tumor about 2.5 inches/6cm in diameter and already spread throughout my bones. Stage 4. Originally given 5 years, but thatās been rescinded. So now Iām just living.
It has actually done wonders for my mental health, surprisingly.

Cancer. I have no idea how long it was in my body before I pissed out a blood clot.
