ECD is a very rare blood cancer. It affects people differently. It started in my kidneys. I had a pseudotumor around my heart. It is inactive in my left eye-choroid part of the eye that does not appear on any scans only diagnosed by an experienced opthamologist. I was on zelboraf for about a year and then was unable to tolerate the med. After 6 months of being off the med, it came back in my long bones. I am on cotellic now and the disease is inactive. I experience a lot of fatigue and pain mostly when I get tired. I manage my symptoms with exercise and trying to eat right. I also take frequent rest breaks. I am open to anyone that wants to chat.

Thank you @ecdhope. I'm confident that @kellymac2011 will be grateful for your willingness to chat. Erdheim Chester Disease is new for her and her financé.

What advice or top tip would you share with someone who has only recently been diagnosed with ECD?
