My story

Feb 2018: I woke up with a very sore right upper leg after lying on a hard sofa. Since then I'm only able to sleep on my back.
June 2018: I started noticing an annoying sting after working out on the treadmill for half an hour. Since then I can only run for 20-30 min before my right upper left starts to ache.
July 2018: Noticed a bump on my leg in the mirror.
I went to the doc. She told me, it probably was a lipoma.
May 2019: MRI showed a big tumor
July 2019: Biopsy. Diagnosis: Desmoid Tumor.
After the Biopsy the tumor grew larger in a short amount of time.
Sep 2019: I had an appointment for surgery but I cancelled it in the last minute because I don't trust the doctors.
Since then I don't feel that it has grown any larger. I believe in natural self-healing. I believe the tumor is there for a reason.
No surgery, no chemo, no radiation, I won't do anything that is harmful to the body.
