Thanks. As you can imagine, given the aggressiveness of this cancer, I’m not out of the woods yet—but am grateful how things have rolled out thus far.

As for your question: I have a mutation in ATM.

Ok, I also have ATM, but I was stage 2 with 1 lymph node involvement. Before July 2022 I had Kaiser, and in April I started complaining to my dr about pain in my back, questioned my elevated monocytes, and complained about sudden very high blood sugar levels that couldn’t be controlled. I switched to Blue Shield in July of that year but didn’t get my diagnoses u til late September. I always wonder if I had the right care neck in April, if it wouldn’t have spread to that 1 lymph node and I would have been better off.
I’m rooting for you and your continued good health!
