Cancer Journey

When did I start feeling symptoms?

I started experiencing back pain, unexplained weight loss, and a moon face. At first, I thought it was related to my thyroid. I went to my primary doctor did some testing and then was prescribed antibiotics to help with white blood cell counts. If nothing worked then my primary doctor and I would reevaluate our options. Then the world went into covid lockdown and my health concerns were put on hold.
