Splenic calcificatio: Sounds benign. Surgeons like to operate. You should talk to your primary care physician.

Primary Care Doctor: Hi this is one of the most important reasons that one should have a primary care provider...One who can help you sort out your full health care; one who can explain how differing medical strategies may be both right; one who can help you get a second opinion if warranted. It sounds like you need a wise advisor to help you sort this out.
