Looks like I may have bone cancer (Edit: Dang internet is always the worst case scenario). I have an appointment to get an ultrasound on everything the 28th. We'll see. My Mom finally got it out of me today after she asked why I was smoking so much now she pretty much yelled at me for buying two cartons of smokes at a time this week. I don't blame her I understand but I snapped and said it probably doesn't matter if I smoke now and told her why. I felt so bad for telling her what was going on with me. I didn't want to. Looks like the average is 6 months to 5 years on the high end of life expectancy. My Dad just got a new boat and He found out today as well what's been bugging me. I wanted to go see the doctor and find out it was nothing and never say a word about it but all signs point towards the worst.

This all started when I started risperidone years ago for my mind. It caused my chest to get sore and I had to get off of it because of that reason but the symptoms never improved (possible breast cancer how humiliating.). I started taking Taltz for Psoriasis and Psoriatic arthritis about 5 years ago within a month I noticed a lump in my right leg. Seems Taltz will cause cancer as well.

Funny thing. I always thought it'd be smoking that killed me. I'm sure it didn't help. Life was a bitch outside the wire but smoking got me through it. 72 hours of no sleep at least once a week for a year and a half and cigarettes made me an addict for life.

I'm not looking for sympathy. I just want ya'll to be aware of how real the side effects of the medications you take are and if they say may cause cancer avoid them if you can.

GOD Bless and watch over you all.
 
Sorry to hear of the prognosis keep your chin up everythings beatable! Not as severe but had a friend that just found out he needs a double hip replacement at 32 from necrosis related to medicine he was prescribed

Medicine/Science. Ain't it wonderful.

BTW it's a self prognosis so I could be wrong. Maybe the knots in my legs are just blood clots 0.0. who knows but I'll maybe hear something the 28th.

GOD Bless and watch over you and your friend.
 
Sorry to hear this, Bypass. Don't be embarrassed if you do have breast cancer, it can happen to men very easily. A good friend of mine was born on Camp LeJeune and was diagnosed in his 30s. He's one of the original crusaders that got attention turned to LeJeune when he testified before Congress.

Don't count yourself out, you may be down, but not out, stay positive, man.
