Thanks for checking in. I was worried about you! Fingers crossed that getting rid of all that tissue solves the problem.
Hugs.

  • I have had ITP for over 21 years. Had many treatments some put me into a remission. Had my spleen out in 2005 and had a stroke 3 months afterwards. Just fighting the fight searching for answers and hopes to live my life drug free.

Well you sure did have a surgery didn't you - bless your heart! Glad to hear you are doing well and continue to do so - with good counts [not too high/not too low]. Take care now and keep us posted!

Oh my, hope you are healing well. I also had a splenectomy in 1995. I recently found out I have 5 accessory spleens just above my colon. My hematologist denied any concern about them. I hope you have positive results from your surgery and increased stable counts!
