Calling All Splenic Hamartoma/Hemangioma Specialists!

Seeking your insight as there is so little literature about this organ on the internet, so I’m resorting to Medium for answers!

The spleen is an organ that is often underrated and overlooked because we can “live without it” — but for years I’ve been frustrated about this as I try to find answers to the issues I’m having. Doctors just brush it off and tell me it’s “normal” but I can’t accept that anymore as there is something growing in my body, and I want to heal it.

The back story: Over 10 years ago, I had Clostridium Difficile and was hospitalized twice for it. During that time, they did MRIs and CT scans and discovered a lesion in my spleen to follow up on.

After having had C. Diff from a doctor's error (overprescribing antibiotics for a viral, not bacterial, infection) I chose to take my health into my own hands, and was serious about it.

For example, those MRIs also showed cysts in my liver, and I changed my diet and healed my liver. There are no longer any cysts. It didn’t take long for my body to heal those, which is miraculous and only made me more confident about my spleen healing as well. I got curious.

My spleen has been the one area of my health that I haven’t been able to hack over the last decade, and there is such little information about it that I’m finally starting to write about it. Maybe someone else on here will…
