Eric Dillon, a Houston father and husband, thought the pain he had been feeling in his shoulder was no more than a strained rotator cuff. He visited an orthopedic clinic and was advised to undergo physical therapy, which seemed to have helped. It wasn't until a burst of "tremendous pain" while doing yard work in May 2024 that he went back to the orthopedist for answers.
After undergoing an MRI, what turned up was something far more serious than just muscle strain. Dillon was referred to an oncologist, something he wasn't familiar with at the time. "I walked in, and she was like, 'You know why you're here?'" Dillon said to CBS news. "I was like, 'I've got a referral from another doctor to see you.' She was like, 'I'm an orthopedic oncologist ... I do cancer.' I was like, 'Wait, what?'" he shared.
