Chordoma

It's a type of cancer that I may have.  It is not confirmed yet, that is what the biopsy will be about.

Why mention it now, since I don't know for sure?  I dunno.  Maybe to have something to yak about.

Chordomas are rare.  It may be a one in a million thing.  Talking about bad luck, huh?

Chordomas affect the spinal column, from the skull to the tailbone.  Mine is in the southern region.

But let's not get too premature with this yet.  It is preliminary.

I'm doing some stuff to prepare.  One thing that I need to do is to get some help.  I am going to check out the Chordoma Foundation.   You can ask to join through email, and that is what I did.  There are akso facebook pages, twitter and so forth.  I had to dig around to find my information on those pages that I have visited for awhile.
