  As you know it is that time of year again ,I give out the facts of the spleen and what can happen after a person as had it removed.It was on the 18th of December 1993 that our son died because of having his spleen out when he was only 12 years and he was taken off preventive antibiotics at the age of 16, he died at the age of 20 avery fit young man just about to go to university he had passed to go and was just waiting for the date.
  
  My wife and myself went off to work on the Saturday morning and on return I found him dead. After the hearing etc in London ,we both had a Dr RT Mayon- White ,from the Dept of Primary Health Care at the University of Oxford call on us. He told us he had done a fact sheet and send it out to all GPs and Hospitals,but it did not get out,I will not go into all that again now. But he help us set up the Kent Splenectomy trust which both my wife still run today.
  
  So if you or a member of your family again anyone you might know have had their spleen out and do not know of the life time risk that go with that.please aske them to email myself or call by phone ,and i will help them. Our fact sheets still go out all around the UK and the world, so if you wish to aske me on the forum about the risk please go ahead or as I said email me. Thank you.
