Re: Re: Fatty acid issues & mito - Lipomas

[Guest guest]

Speaking of Lipomas - in an earlier message, I told about my visit to the

endocrinologist. She felt the very large swelling on my neck (on the side of

the implant that does not work at all) and identified it as a lipoma that needs

to be removed. The swelling is the size of a baseball and very noticeable (and

after manipulation very uncomfortable). I've been concerned about this since

the first surgery on the right side and have felt the need to have something

done about it but she was very clear in her opinion. It has to go.

Dear Alice,

Maybe that lipoma is the cause of some of your problems, and you will

get some relief from its removal.

Please don't forget what I learned from my vet and close friend, Dr.

Pat. Our most beloved Afghan had one on his side, but since it never

seemed to bother him, we left it alone. She cautioned that they are very

tricky to remove because they have an extremely robust blood supply. I'd

ask the doctor if human lipomas are the same. I'll bet they are.

Good luck!
