I had chondrosarcoma of the rib I had to have ribs removed and complete breast reconstruction 😢 it’s a very life changing thing I’m cancer free 5 years now but the pain I suffer is challenging to say the least. Your amazing just always remember that it’s not an easy thing to life with and 7 years mine was growing they wouldn’t listen to me kept saying it was nothing and then when it was found it was 21 cm on my rib cage under my right breast 😢so I feel ur pain about them not finding it quick enough I really do xx

You need to be really stern with you Dr and push until they do something. You should at least be given an x ray, they cost pennies and are quick. I really hope you get this sorted...if you want to chat my email is: [e-mail]

[@erenix3909]

ask for an mri and if not then an xray at least. these scans will be useful for diagnosis.

I truly hope you are doing better 🙏 Please seek all the information out there that's available: conventional medicine and holistic medicine. Please do your own research on how diet can effect can-cer. Eliminate all sugars and simple carbs (no white or wheat flour), eat all organic. Look into the benefits of Essaic tea and green tea, saunas to sweat out toxins, research Fasting, drink lots of spring water with lemon to cleanse the body, reduce stress, drink FRESH organic dark leafy green juice, it's a blood cleanser...lots you can do. If you believe in God, pray for healing in Jesus' name. May God bless you.
