David’s story

October 1, 2020

(When it started) Freshmen, 18, 5’7 150.

Can’t contribute it to really anything. Just developed. I was pretty freaked and in pain. So bad after 3-4 days couldn’t sit, stand, walk.

Called the parents, picked me up from the dorm. Immediately to the ER for draining. Opt for the immediate surgery for the removal.

A good surgeon can give you a good certainty it will not come back. Great after care is also even more important.
