I was recently diagnosed with ALS. Still hoping this could be paraneoplastic syndrome since I had just been diagnosed with breast cancer in September/2020. I had surgery in November/2020 and again in December/2020. In January/2021, I started slurring and had little trouble swallowing liquids. Neurologist thought I may have myasthenia gravis. EMG said otherwise. In may, I started having twitching in my tongue and throat. I feel perfectly fine otherwise. Went to MAYO clinic in Jacksonville and one neuro thought it could be associated with my cancer. All tests came out negative and the ALS Neurologist diagnosed me with ALS.
Has anyone else out there had cancer or surgery right before diagnosis of ALS?
