Amen to that brother, if anything another reminder for us all to be aware of our own bodies and overall health

I was diagnosed at 21, if something seems a little sus don’t just assume it’s nothing and make sure you get it checked out

Yep I know that so well , after my battles

Sorry to hear. i got checked out 2 years ago had all tests just have to do it. Yes blokes say ahh it can wait, delaying can make it worse.

Absolutely
I’ve mentioned it before but I was diagnosed with stage 4 testicular cancer that had spread to some nodes as high as my neck

Had some back pain as a symptom but had started a new job around the same time so just brushed it off

Essentially lost two years of my life with the treatment when I should of been in my prime

I thought I had a strained hamstring , and then they diagnosed it as stage 4 DLBCL in my pelvis

I thought I had a strained hamstring , and then they diagnosed it as stage 4 DLBCL in my pelvis

So many similar stories especially thinking something is just a strain

a few years post treatment I thought I ****ed my hamstring as well
Didn’t get any better after a day so my doctor got me to have a ultrasound straight away due to my history and they found a 25cm dvt

Just an unfortunate side effect of some of the scar tissue I have in the area that had calcified and blocked one of the arteries but it goes to show how something so small can turn out to be a big deal
