sore throat.. pre op

having a weakened immune system due to splenectomy shouldn't be a cause for concern should it?

Without a spleen you are immuno compromised so I would guess you’d have to take special care on chemotherapy but That is a question for your oncologist really. 
Can I be nosey and ask why you are missing your spleen? 
If my question is inappropriate  just ignore me and I apologise 

Hi Beau. Having a weakened immune system I would think with chemo you would have to be extra careful. But as Dani says pop it on your  list of questions just to make sure they are aware.

I was hit by a car when I was 5 years old.. removed my spleen.. constantly ill as a child. 

Hi Beau. Hugs to you x

thankyou... :-) 

Hell! It’s been a challenge for you.

Chemo will be a challenge too but your team will be prepared for it and keep you well. 

There’s always a possibility you might avoid it altogether. It adds around 6% to cure rates so on balance it might not be given. 
Something else to discuss

Excellent news pleased its earlier. At least you’ll have met before Christmas. You’ll not have that hanging over you . Treatment is hard but we’ve done it snd do can you.

Fab! You’ll be right on track and likely know what the treatment plan is and have some dates to focus on.
