A bunch of people you don’t know wish you well.

I suffer from a rare and aggressive tumor illness that has affected my hands and feet. Been fighting this for almost half my life with several different treatments. 1 1/2 years ago I had my feet amputated to get rid of the “problem” there. Now my hands have become worse. New tumors and old ones growing in size. Radiotherapy didn’t work for the tumors in my feet, let’s hope it hits differently this time. Thank you for all the support.

Hey Ben! We messaged a while ago since I am also a young person with your disease. Not very common!

Wishing you all the luck. I had radiotherapy on my hand ten years ago and I am grateful every day I did. No more tumors in my right hand for ten full years. Now, I have a small one growing but back when I had the radiation done 10 years was the number I was given for efficacy.

All I had was peeling. A good lotion did the trick. Hope it’s a smooth ride for you.
