I think I was fortunate enough to be diagnosed very early on, and also so close to the Mayo facility in Phoenix. I’ve really never had to be my own advocate with this hospital, never had to second guess what they were doing to me. I ain’t gonna lie, the huge chemo blast was my biggest fear but it wasn’t as bad as I expected. There is the long term effect with it wiping out your whole immunizations you have ever had your whole entire life, that freaked me out a little but then the thought of getting the Covid jabs out of me is a win win. I really hate to go there, but I was a perfectly healthy 66 year old never been in the hospital other than to have a hysterectomy years ago. Was walking 6-7 miles a day, within days of getting sick from the second vaccine, I never regained my stamina was doing good to get 2-3 miles in a day, then sciatic issues set in, never had that before. Saw a spine specialist here in Az in Jan who found my lesion on my spine, was not there 6 months prior. I know I can’t prove that it’s the cause nor can “they” say that’s it’s not…..just my theory
Good luck to you sweetie, keep us posted
