Well it's the day after my surgery and boy did I have a rough night. The pain from my thumb was so intense and throbbing, I couldn't sleep and every position I tried didn't help relieve the pressure. Will be following up with my doctor tomorrow, just to make sure I didn't get any infections. My doctor always has to follow up closely with me because I got a major infection after my first surgery. Scared us and for a doctor to tell you a patient scared him, you know it was serious. Also I will be… Continue

Hi,

I am happy to say that I am officially 6 months post op from the 5th GCT surgery. And I am CLEAR! Thrilled does not even begin to describe it. I am thankful to God that I have made it this far and I can say I rarely have problems with my leg. What are the chances? I guess I just wanted to share my good news.

The only no I got was on playing rugby, for that he asked me to wait… Continue

It was the end of June when I got home from hospital (spending a month there) and was waiting for the results of biopsy. I waited about two weeks. Because I already wasn't able to move much by myself my mom went to the hospital to see the results. The doctors sent me to specialist in another city - Vilnius, where is a big clinic with more experienced doctors. Me and my boyfriend rushed there as soon as we were told. It was about 3-4 hours of driving and it was difficult for me because of the inc… Continue
