kitcat1158 11 Posted April 4, 2013 So i had surgery March 22nd. During surgery my doctor found a small nodule in my stomach. He sent it for biopsy as a precaution. Yesterday i went for my first post op doc appointment. Down 18 pounds! Also found out that the results of the biopsy showed i had a tumor I'm my stomach. Absolutely no symptoms to support that, but i was told that having this surgery basically could have saved my life! Wow! That was a lot to digest for sure. I have to follow up with an oncologist but they feel very optimistic that they got it all during surgery. I'm very lucky i had this surgery. Bonus surgery! 8 selbradey, SleeveNZ, 2boysmom and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

new_me2013 41 Posted April 4, 2013 I had the same thing happen to me it was GIST cancer, they caught it way early, all gone & no further treatment needed. Was seen @ Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo NY. Hope everything turns out as good for you as it did for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
