flag A London man's persistent back pain led to a rare cancer diagnosis, prompting treatment and a push for early medical attention.

flag Roy Mugera, a 31-year-old Dagenham man, was diagnosed with rare synovial sarcoma in early 2023 after months of unrelenting back pain and a growing lump he blamed on his bartending job. flag Despite multiple GP visits and painkillers, his condition worsened, leading to hospitalization, a biopsy at UCLH, and confirmation of cancer originating in the kidney and spreading to both lungs. flag He has undergone chemotherapy, sepsis treatment, lung surgery, and radiotherapy, with tumor size fluctuating significantly. flag The cancer, affecting only about 79 people annually in England, left him isolated until connecting with Sarcoma UK, which provided support and research funding. flag He now urges others to seek medical help for persistent pain, even without visible symptoms, and advocates for compassion and awareness.
