I am wondering if my hernia repair really worked? Still got that swollen area over where they did repair and it is sore, not bad just a little sore. Did the old cough test and believe I feel just a tiny bit of something pushing when cough. Nothing felt on other side. But it isn't much that I feel and have to move finger a bit toward center and not straight up. STILL wish they hadn't done the hernia and just did the prostate like I asked!!! Hernia hadn't been a problem for 40+ years. Anyway, my PA did order a CT scan, but it's not yet scheduled- that can take awhile to get scheduled. Then the oncologist scheduled a CT of 5th rib posterior (a spot that lite up on PSMA last Jan which they said 100% sure is nothing but going to check anyway). That seems like a lot of scanning, I will start glowing in dark. Think MRI would be better, but they can take months to get done.
Got this article sent to me that may be interesting? Little over my head!
