Scar tissue. I had numerous tumors grow thru organs which resulted in over 10 major abdominal surgeries over a 15 year period. A doctor at Denver General Hospital removed so much scar tissue this past March that I lost over two pant sizes. I would see if there’s a way to minimize the buildup of scar tissue. I had so much it closed off the ureter to my right kidney and I now only have one functional kidney

My grandmother used to have a saying - you can stay in bed and cry or get out of it and live your life. I choose to get out of bed. Days may not be great, but at least I am still alive doing what I can.
