I was initially diagnosed with leishmaniasis near the end of my military career. Fortunately it turned out to be Basil Cell Carcinoma instead (in the respect that I didn't have to go through the treatment). They caught the misdiagnosis when they sent me to Walter Reed for treatment. I was not looking forward to going through the treatment for sure.
