Sorry to hear that JP.
This is way more serious than I had realized.

What causes this?
It looks like it may be almost as bad as having to listen to a dozen Kamalala speech back to back.

That doesn't sound awesome at all man, that sucks.  If you start on new medications, always do your Own research on the side effects or incompatibility with others.

After TWO Years, someone finally caught a dangerous incompatibility of medicines the doctors (specialists) had me on.  I have always trusted most doctors, but now, not so much.

No known cause or cure 

Dang, JP this sucks

I started noticing that my hair was thinning after I turned 50.  I figured I was on a trajectory to be bald by the time I turned 60.  I remember being pretty bent about it.

JP's struggle makes that seem super trivial.   

Sorry JP. This sounds awful.

The incidence has been noted at about 1 in 100,000

Just sent this to my wife.🙏😍

It was less than 4x weeks between scans - at max 3weeks that she was taking the pills.
This MF doubles every 7x weeks, and it was already too big to operate. Aggressive AF.
Not only had the pills stopped the growing between the earlier scan, but had slightly reduced it.
Specialist was amazed but wouldn't answer any of my emails after this.
