OP, please take jedberg's advice. It may seem like "Well, if it could be a tumor, why wouldn't the specialists have mentioned that possibility?" but it turns out that doctors often overlook corner cases. It was surprising.
- yamtaddle 4y agoHell, it's not even always corner cases they overlook. There's stigma about self-diagnosing, but if you've got a little sense it's a very good idea to do so. You may well google your exact signs, symptoms, and circumstances and find the doctor's (multiple doctors, even!) failed to rule out the #1 most likely cause, let alone more obscure possibilities.
- jason_slack 4y agoAgreed. One member of my family was "misdiagnosed" and they didn't catch the cancer until it was Stage 4. My beloved grandfather died within months of the diagnosis once it was finally made. He was my "person".
