Hello everyone,

I hope you're doing well. emoticon bashful

This group contains many different types of cancer. Though you may have different forms of cancer, I think there is somewhat of a shared experience across cancer types in this forum.

Let's hear about you and your story! What kind of cancer do or did you have? How were you diagnosed? How are you doing now?

Feel free to share you story, your experiences, your advice, and support here!

@Judygarb Hello there,

Thank you for sharing what you’ve been through. I can only imagine the shock and fear of waking up in pain, only to learn that it was stage 4 cancer. It can be a huge and overwhelming experience, especially when it happens so suddenly after other symptoms. You’ve been through an incredibly challenging journey, and I’m so glad you reached out. Please know that you’re not alone here. If you ever want to talk more about your experiences, your treatments, or just connect with others who understand, the community is here for you.

Take gentle care,  

Somya from the Carenity Team 🌼

In December 20 1612 December I went into the emergency room with a severe headache. I couldn’t touch my face that’s how bad it was found out. I had a mass on the right side of my brain then found out it was cancer was told it was About the size of a golf ball after x-rays. I mean after MRIs found out from the neurosurgeon that it covered the right side of the brain about a half inch from the brain stem on 15th of December. The cancer was removed. I was told by one doctor that if they’d remove it, I’d be paralyzed on the left side of my body. The doctor in New Orleans at Dr. Marcus swear he is the best doctor I’ve ever been to she told me exactly what he was gonna do. What time how long it was gonna take he was on point with everything remove the whole cancer and I am a walking miracle today. The only side effects I have. I have memory loss, short-term memory loss and my patience. My future is to be a mile long. I’m lucky if it’s an inch I am now a medication to for TBI that I have to take daily
