My 8lb 11inch Tumor
Hi guys! I figured no better way than to celebrate the anniversary of me surviving this freak monstrosity than to share it I am a tiny girl, 5 feet tall and about 100 pounds. I started gaining a lot of weight even though I worked out and dieted daily. One morning I woke up and I looked pregnant. Because I was single and not doing the mingle I knew this was impossible. Long story short I found out I had a 8 pound 11 inch tumor shaped like a football growing in my abdomen. The doctor sent me this picture and told me it fell apart as soon as he got done weighing it (gross) if you click on the picture of it to make it larger you can see some crazy details in that sucker I had a long painful and tough recovery but all that remains is this scar and now I'm tumor free, lucky to be alive and with a new outlook on life. yay.  ·  ·  ·  · |

Re: My 8lb 11inch Tumor
or do they do it like that so the patient would have to come back for scar concealment surgeries too? just asking and no offense to the doctors here.

Re: My 8lb 11inch Tumor
The belly button staples had to be annoying. had sutures in mine from laproscopic appendectomy pleasant  .Then the other sutures where they pulled the actual appendix out from all fell out before it was healed. http://www.documentingreality.com/fo...ectomy-129137/ Looks like your's turned out alright though.  For staples? that looks pretty good. Stitches probably wouldn't had turned out much better. (If anything, they may have pulled/ripped. staples usually stay put unless infection sets in or get ripped out.) |

Re: My 8lb 11inch Tumor
Ay, caramba, girl! Was it a dermoid cyst? I am impressed. Was it benign? Glad you are healthy and happy now, thanks for sharing this with us.  |
