Adenoma

[chemicallyengineered]

Good morning everyone. It’s been a long time since I’ve been online. In January of 2018 we discovered by accident that I had an adenoma on my liver. I went to urgent care for a stomach bug and by pure chance the doc wanted to do a cat scan to rule out my colitis and he found a seven centimeter adenoma. They then ordered an mri to confirm it and they actually found six adenomas. Five were less than 3cm Nd the one was 7cm. Long story short they had to remove half of my liver and it’s been a long road to recovery but I’ve been back training for over a year now. An adenoma is liver tissue that doesn’t function as normal but still has an abundant blood supply and actually can rupture. The 7cm one would have killed me before I knew what was happening if it ruptured. Adenomas normally happen in women who take birth control or guys who use aas because they are triggered by high levels of estrogen and progesterone. Luckily god and my father sent me that stomach bug to get me checked out in time.

Re: Adenoma

48 staples to close me up and I lost almost 30lbs. I had to walk with a walker for a little while too. Then after a month I started with the lightest weights on the machines at the gym so that I wouldn’t use my core for stabilization. I came out of surgery at 185 down from 212. It was scary. I have had several follow ups in the last 18 months and my last two scans showed no growth in the last two adenomas that are on the other side of my liver. My plan is to share more of my journey back as I try and have an online presence again in this great community. Right now it’s time to head to the gym. Have an awesome day everyone!

Thank you brother. You can knock me down but I won’t stay down. We learn from the challenges and adapt. Looking forward to touching base with everyone again. My treadmill warm up is almost done and then it’s chest today.

Re: Adenoma

Thanks for the well
Wishes and welcome back everyone. The road back had a lot of heart felt discussions and I have been working closer than ever doctor and with my surgeon as I navigate how my life has changed since the surgery and what I can do safely and still try to live the life I want. I had some difficulty with getting and endocrinologist to work with me because of my “history “ so I went seven months without taking anything and it was bad. My first scan of my liver at one month post op showed full regrowth of the right side and it showed the two small adenomas on the left side. Six months later with no trt or any assistance my scam still showed those two adenomas were the same size even though they should have shrunk. At this point I decided fuck waiting on. The endocrinologist to take more blood to see where we are at, after 20 years of use my body isn’t going to bounce back. I had zero libido and zero “ability”. I decided to do some trt myself. Well I did a few months of 200mgs test. Things went well and in January I decided to do a transformation challenge. For this I decided to make this a real experiment and go 200 test 200 tren arimidex and var. in March i did another scan and the results were the same, no change in size of the adenomas that were left. I had told my doc I was doing my own trt and that while they stayed the same as opposed to shrinking they also stayed the same during the six months I was clean. I told him I was going to continue my way and have ya doing the scans every six months until I see things get worse. I know a lot of people will not agree with this but it is a choice I made and I promised my wife if any tests go south then playtime is over. Hell at 44years old I don’t have many years left in this game anyway.
