ERIC’s Story

Site created on September 11, 2019

After a year and a half of suffering (and I mean truly suffering) with fatigue, hot/ sweating flashes,  I have finally landed on the source. After a year of a multitude of blood tests, urine tests, CTs, MRIs, visits to primary care physicians and specialists and finally settling in on pharmaceutical treatment of my energy, mood and physical symptoms, I have landed on the source. 
Thank you to all that have been patient, especially my family. 
On September 4, 2019,  following a crazy 1-2 week run up with visits and medical imaging , I visited with Dr Arjun Joshi. In office, a biopsy was done of a palpable LN on my right neck. On September 5, 2019 I got the news that I had Squamous cell cancer of the LN of the neck with an unknown primary source.
The good news was/is that it is P16+ .
Here begins my journey.
