Cam Ayala disclosed in 2018 he was diagnosed with lymphedema.
Ayala, who appeared during Hannah Brown's season and earned her"first impression rose," said he was diagnosed with lymphedema back in 2002 but never wanted to make it public"because I never wanted sympathy or for people to feel sorry for me."
"In 2002 I was officially diagnosed with #lymphedema a non-curable condition that is often misdiagnosed and completely understudied by medical professionals across the [world]," he captioned the post."I was told by dozens of doctors and 'Specialists' that I would never be able to play competitive sports and that I would have to manage this condition for the rest of my life.
Over a decade after the diagnosis, Ayala revealed in the same Instagram post that he suffered an infection in 2014 in his right knee. The infection led to"13 surgical procedures" and that"the only consensus that the doctors came to was....amputation." At the time, Ayala revealed that thought of losing his leg gave him"crippling fear and anxiety." Ultimately, doctors at Boston Children's Hospital performed a diagnostic procedure that saved his leg from amputation in December 2016. Fast forward to now, Ayala seems to be taking the procedure in stride and seems more than determined to overcome the challenge.This video is unavailable because we were unable to load a message from our sponsors.
