Hi . Im 18 years old male.

I think that half of my body (bilaterally) has normal growth while the other half has a slight retarded growth ( like ribcage, some parts of skull, gonads). Is it normal ? What is my condition?

Hi - those all sound like questions you should have with your doctor, and if you are concerned you should definitely do that. This particular forum is for people with specific types of blood cancers, so we’re not going to be of much - or any, really - help to you. Give your doc a call for an appointment and best of luck to you.

I’d recommend you start with your GP, lay out your concerns and then see where the path leads from there - to a referral to specialist of some kind, etc.
