An ultrasound revealed a mass so large doctors ‘couldn’t see any of his organs’, and further tests showed he had a tumour reaching from his right ovary to his lungs.
Many of us put on a few pounds over lockdown, which is of course nothing to be alarmed about.
Ezra, who is transgender, noticed he was piling on the pounds in April last year, but thought it was thanks to unhealthy eating. But as the weeks and months passed, his tummy started to feel ‘rock hard’ and he had sharp abdominal pains. Ezra wasn’t deemed a priority for surgery as his tumour was non-cancerous, and the hospital was already overrun with Covid patients.
‘I got diagnosed with the tumour at the height of the pandemic and I was conflicted because I didn’t want to waste anyone’s time.‘People were dying from Covid, so the hospital wasn’t really where I wanted to be at that time anyway so I just accepted that I may have to wait a while for the operation.Ezra’s life started to become increasingly difficult when the size of the tumour prevented him from doing basic things.
