That explains why you use the term “dismissive”. Kessler was not the kind to admit he may have made a mistake or your issue could be caused by the surgery. I had issues after my surgery also, and am still dealing with them 5 years later. The only positive thing I have to say about my experience at IU is I am still cancer free. I have my 5 year scan this week and am confident it will be a good one. I quit going to IU for my medical issues a couple months after surgery and found new and better doctors elsewhere. It was too late to undo what was done but I am getting by fairly well these days. Take Care and Good Luck!!
