Hi all! I posted an intro way back in May when I was first diagnosed, but life has been busy (darn those 6 kids! :tongue1: ) and although I pop in often to read, I haven't posted in a long time.
You will all be happy to know that I just got back Saturday from a week long visit to Dr. Langford and others at the Cleveland Clinic. I wish I had done it sooner!! You all were so right about that - but it was tough to get all the schedules arranged and even when I thought I had every little detail taken care of, my mom's husband ended up in the hospital while she was here watching my kids. Scrambling for alternative child care from 2000 miles away was a bit challenging!
So my question is - has anyone had experience with an atrophic spleen and WG? I had a CT chest done while at CCF and when I met with the pulmonologist, he noted that my spleen was severely atrophic as well as the pancreatic tail. I didn't get a chance to discuss it with Dr. Langford as I had already had two appointments with her earlier in the week and she was out of town the last two days I was there. In all my reading these past 10 months, I hadn't come across anything about the spleen being a particular target of WG.
Thanks!!
