Yes I had my surgery I am doing okay have had some complications since being home like with being able to breathe and muscle spasms in my stomach all day long which makes my insides feel like they are being ripped out of me. Surgery took longer then they thought and what was in my spleen was not what they thought it was so we went in thinking that it was a 11cm hard mass but when she went in it turned out to be a 11cm abscessed cyst that was full of infection so I came out with a drian tube that has to stay in till its all clear and lots of antibiotics. Was sent home told by the surgeon filling in for my surgeon that I have cancer but he couldn't tell me what kind if they got it all are anything else that I had to wait on my appointment with my surgeon. So now that's what I am waiting on is to find out all of that information which I see her tomorrow afternoon

Good morning @renesbaby19. I was surprised to see it’s been 4 months since I’ve talked with you! Time flies…
When we spoke last, you’d recently had your surgery to remove the splenic cyst and coping the best you could during recovery. I know it was an extensive surgery and that takes its toll on the body, especially with the complications of the infection, the drain tube and antibiotics. Our bodies are amazing with what they can go through and tolerate! I hope you’re doing well now and making a full recovery.
There was also a mention that your surgeon discover some cancerous area. Have you learned anymore about that? Are you going through any treatments?

I'm sorry to hear that the surgery was longer than anticipated, @renesbaby19. It sounds like you are in a lot of discomfort as well. Do you have meds to manage the pain?
So tomorrow you are expected to get the biopsy results and find out a bit more about the type of cancer. Is that correct?
I would like to hear from you again after your appointment. Will you post an update?
