rcgs59 15 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 10 fucking pounds?!yes, I have seen bigger tumors removed. Plus sometimes patients have fluid in the bellycalled Ascites which I have seen 5 -6 liters tapped from there belly. The procedure is called Paracentesis. My heart , and prayers go out to Chad and Vanessa. Speaking from experience it's a long hard road but one that can be beaten. I had another lap and biopsy done Feb 14 results should be in any day. he said things looked good. Link to post Share on other sites

MaxStPolish 4 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 RIP Not sure what these historical people noted in the milk carton thread did to get banned (those that were banned), but this guy has posted nothing but troll and downright hate stuff. I'd really like to think there's a zero tolerance kind of policy on here with stuff like this. Moderators, assemble. Link to post Share on other sites
