Hello everyone.
My name is Zeke. I am a biomedical scientist specialising in histology, I am also an anthropologist, a DJ, a keen LARPer and a general ne'er do well :-)
At the age of 44 I was diagnosed with gout. Routine blood work for the gout found that I was massively anaemic. This eventually led to a colonoscopy which discovered a 5cm lesion at the ileocaecal junction next to the appendiceal orifice.
Today I spoke to my surgeon and was informed that they intend to perform a right hemicolectomy before the end of the year.
Whilst I am very well informed on the technical and scientific parts of the diagnosis and treatment I am interested to hear from other people who have gone through this surgery and how they found the recovery and return to normal life.
Looking forward to hearing from you all,
Zeke
