The best of luck to you as you start your treatments, Yovana. Your youth and early detection both work to increase your odds of a full recovery.

Please keep us advised of how things progress. It's not a lot of fun, but you can come out the other side to find a high quality of life.

    Hi Erick
    Thank you very much for your support.

    The tumor (I do not consider it as part of my body) is friable and bleeds in touch like the tumor you had 9 years ago. I also have anemia. My count was 8.4 next day after my endescopy ultrasound, so I have been taking ferrous over the counter.

    Every day I feel tired. I think because I cannot sleep well. Today, I feel very good, and I got my tatoos for radiation.

    Tomorrow, I will meet my new oncologist.

    Once again,

    Thank you for your words,

    God Bless You,

    Yovana
