For months I was having issues with what I thought were food sensitivities and hemorrhoids. I would go to the doctor and get hydrocortisone cream…never worked. Then months later, I presented to the ER with signs/symptoms of appendicitis. Little did I know that when they removed the appendix, it had a neoplasm of 4.7cm!
Two weeks later, I had lymph nodes removed and a colon resection to make sure it had not spread. Then a month later I had to have a hernia repair due to post-surgical complications of the first two surgeries…yup, so after three surgeries in all, within two months, I am now on the road to recovery!!
