Rachelle Johnson
Injury/Illness
Cancer
I went into the ER on Aug 28, 2021, due to pain in my mid-back and it hurt to breathe. They ran all the heart tests and did a CT scan, where they found a 7 cm mass on my left kidney. On Oct 22, 2021, I had my left kidney removed and it was cancer. At my 3-month check up, the CT scan showed the cancer had metastasized into my lungs, so I was started on infusions and pills. On Dec 8, 2022, I underwent Lung surgery and removed the lower right lobe of my lung due to spot that was growing. I have been off work Dec 2022. I am still on the infusions and pills every three weeks. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
