Um...cancer.
Yeah. Had some back pains, went to chiropractor, got better.
Year or so later hit harder and ER just assumed Sciatica, no scans or anything.
Only later Dr decided to PARTLY scan me and found slipped discs.

Week or so later, Texas snowstorm hits and I ain't got leg movement.
Tumor was higher up. Turned out to be a rare,, really crap one, and I feel my docs screwed over giving me the best possible treatment.
I will say the neurosurgeon who removed it, no grudge, she tried, it just pissed off what tiny bits were left.

Now after a year or two of chemo without radiation (even though a combo has been stated to be best, they told me impossible, other docs have said the opposite) we thought it was gonna on PET scans, but teeny pieces moved around in my spine very deep and are seen in MRI.

Now I'm on Keytruda, (which isn't FOR my cancer, but a few rare cases had good reaction, but those were more mutated, he's even admitted we aren't necessarily talking curative, coward, I want to fight) spine swelling from it causing arm sensation loss. Legs were getting better, thought I was getting cured.
Doc is afraid to go back to chemo because it kicked my White blood cells bad, and says these nodules survived so maybe it adapted(?)
I'm still willing and wanting it and radiation together, no matter how deep it is in Dura, maybe Parp Inhibitors or T Cell stuff, definitely want radiation though transport will be an issue.

Sorry for the wall, but I felt like getting whole story out. Family has been through so much, not just me.
If anyone remembers, a while back I'm the guy that found a kitten at work and made a couple topics about it.
