@rafcer, I believe your surgery was last week.
How did your surgery go? How is recovery?

@colleenyoung Surgery went well but I did need 4 pints of blood. First few days were rough. I’m still in hospital, have weakness when standing hemoglobin climbing up to 10.2 from 7.4. Walking with assistance only. Have developed bowel problems for a few days guess my intestines woke up tooo much. They did a culture waiting on that. Stool is very watery kind of worried about that. I’m refusing ferrous sulfate it did the opposite effect on me at home. Still haven’t received biopsy results from operation for lymph nodes and piece of urethra.
