What a horrible path you went thru before you finally got a definitive answer to what was wrong. I commend you for being such a strong advocate for yourself and not just letting things slide. It must have been so frustrating to be in pain and have problems but no diagnosis. Congrats on not just being cancer free but also on getting to the bottom of your problem. Now I hope your situation is easily cured.
Good luck with everything!!!!
