Thanks for the update, @amariewilkinson,

I am glad to hear that your biopsies showed normal tissue. How difficult that you are bothered again with problems eating. I'm sure that is discouraging.

I hope that you are able to make a decision at your August appointment that works well for you. I can understand your hesitancy to have more biopsies that lead to problems eating.

Do you lose weight as a result of these procedures?

Thank you for asking! It’s more than just trouble eating…pain etc but I’m hopeful I’ll come out of this again too at some point. Not sure why it’s taking forever for my body to heal down there 🤷‍♀️
but I’m sure radiation has most to do with it. Since last Sept. 30th I did drop 35 lbs and although that doesn’t put me underweight yet, it’s closer to doing so. I’m trying to eat well despite what it does to me multiple times a day. Prayers it goes back to “normal” soon. Thank you!
