Wonderful! I am very happy for your husband and yourself, every bit of good news is welcome!
FYI. The Mayo initially teamed me up with a surgeon that was not Minimally invasive / robotic certified. Please verify this with your surgeon.
I opted for the very best and searched out Dr. Blackmon who is world renown.
My greatest prayers and wishes!

My husband’s surgeon told us he will be utilizing the robotic surgery. We meet with him tomorrow and will go over everything again. I’ve heard it tends to be easier to heal from. I wish you all the best in everything ahead and in the present moment. 🩷

Hi Rick, I googled Baylor/St. Luke's to see if they have a nurse navigator program and they do. I wish I could attach the screenshot because it explains their role. Just google "does Baylor/St. Luke's have a nurse navigator program" and it should pop right up. Good luck
