My TUMOR Was Discovered Completely by Accident - Eric | PEComa | The Patient Story

36 Visioni
Published
Eric was 45 and teaching yoga in Oklahoma City when intense back and abdominal pain struck overnight. A scan revealed a grapefruit-sized tumor on his kidney, touching his heart. The diagnosis was epithelioid angiomyolipoma, a rare condition doctors struggled to treat. Some doctors call it PEComa.

In this cancer vlog, Eric shares his journey with chemotherapy, how he found strength through yoga, and how a community of supporters including his wife and a rare cancer group lifted him up. His resilience in the face of mouth sores, weight loss, rejection by hospitals, and feeling like a medical experiment paints a moving picture of quiet strength.

Thank you, Eric, for sharing your story to help others.
