Poll: Should I remove my spleen

[slash747]

Talked to the doctor he said that it might break again since im active.
It could even break open while lifting.

Pros : Dont have to worry about breaking it anymore and bleeding internally if it does

cons: surgery, lack of defences against certain strands of pnemonia

Ive been leaning more torward ther removing it since the doctor scared me and said it could break at any time in the future because it will never heal right. Of course the paranoia in me is saying he wants to sell it on the black market to canibals that pay top dollars to eat healthy male spleens. Of course I know this may sound "Out There" to some but in a world where crime is starting to mimic cartoon chartacters with sinister plots , can you totally doubt it.

Had one doctor said that it would be fine as is, and that I would not have to remove it.

Get a third opinion. One says remove, the other No. One of them is wrong.

Remove it and eat it yourself.

Yah im definately going to get 3rd and fourth opinions. Buckwheat1 said he tore his over 20 years ago and he never had a problem or removed. The initial surgeon that let me out of the hospital said that although it might not heal all the way there was no need he saw to remove it.

Either way I only have about 50% of my blood currently and doc said its gonna take another 4 weeks to get to 100%. So im not doing anything in the near future. It sucks constantly feeling high and weak.

Now im not joking around when I ask this , Im being serious, Doesnt anadrol increase Red Blood Cell Count (RBC)? I would not take it without medical attention or without medical advice, that would be outright stupid , but is it worth asking my doctor for it? Is it used for things like this? Is anadrol the drug im thinking of or is there another steroid that helps with RBC?

Actually I just read the drug profile on it and it sounds like I might be a canditate.

Anadrol 50 ® (oxymetholome)

Anadrol 50® is the U.S. brand name for oxymetholone, a very potent oral androgen. This compound was first made available in 1960, by the international drug firm Syntex. Since oxymetholone is quite reliable in its ability to increase red blood cell production (and effect characteristic of most anabolic/androgenic steroids), it showed great promise in treating cases of severe anemia. It turned out to be well suited for this purpose, and was popular for quite some time. But recent years have brought fourth a number of new treatments, most notably the non-steroidal hormone Epogen (erythropoietin).

I think a safer bet while your taking it easy would be EQ. Anadrol would be more taxing on your overall system. Eq would be much safer.

Have it removed. You are physically fit, your immune system is higher than the norm. Don't worry about the flu. Get a third opinion.
Having it removed far outweighs the risks of having it rupture.

THEEGAME2544 I doubt my doctor qould prescribe Eq.
I want to get it through him, I also dont want to take chances, if he says no , then no, I dont want to start experimenting until I have a clean bill of health. Anything I do right now will be only under doctor's care or advice.

That what my doctor said. If I rupture it again and loose as much blood as I did this time , my chances of surviving a surgery are greatly decreased. The rupture wasnt a small one either I ripped it down the whole length of the spleen. First surgeon that chose not to operate said that It would heal and Id be fine though.

Asked my doctor if it would have any affect due that I take AAS and he said none whatsoever.
