🧿UCLA & Oncology Appointments Pending🧿Please Excuse Any Delays

🧿5/24/24: approved for UCLA; pending oncology auth: CT scan shows more ossified tumor growth. Body won’t stop growing tumors that calcify 17 years ignored & will never fully recover. Left shoulder blade caving in where bone was removed 🧿6th open operation 10/11/23 🧿 5th open surgery L shoulder blade w/radiation to burn ossified tumors 7/28/23 🧿Prognosis: poor. Irreversible & permanent damage noted on both sides w/parts of rib cage chipped off. Indefinite operations are seemingly becoming inevitable. Began this six-operations-and-counting in 2020 from injuries sustained in 2007. My pain is unmanageable & left me disabled as of 2017. Poshmark is my FT job & my only means of income. 🙏🏻If you are fighting for medical care, you are going to be your own best advocate. Had I been treated, not dismissed, misdiagnosed, etc., since 2007, I wouldn’t have had the irreversible damage, worsening pain, arthritis, & osteoarthritis that I have today & subsequently developed Heterotrophic Ossification that turn surrounding tissue into benign bone tumors. I was robbed of my life on the evening of June 7, 2007. In a crowded place, where anyone could have helped, the bystander effect was their choice. If you see something, say or do something 🙏🏻 🌸 I share my journey b/c MANY go unheard by their medical providers & suffer in silence. Medical gaslighting is more prevalent than medical CARE. Don’t let ANYONE make you think your concerns are invalid 🧿
