Thank you so much for your words of wisdom and wonderful quotes! I think it’s the courage piece I’m lacking. Today, I was given 4 differing instructions for pre op as well as a completely different explanation than a resident had provided. Right now, I’m beyond lost! Hopefully tomorrow I’ll be able to find out exactly what is planned for me. I thought there was only patient has a voice, apparently I was wrong.
I’ll keep you updated on the latest events.

Hi @uma1,

I bought a Philips VoiceTracer DVT1160 ($42 on Amazon) to record every appointment with every person I was in contact with so I could always go back and play so nothing is missed. Never had any of my doctors or others which I have seen many over the years not allow it and some actually were glad so important information is not missed. I have done this in 2008 with my first tonsil cancer caused from HPV and more recently in 2024 for my tongue cancer which was most likely caused from my radiation treatment in 08’.

Good luck on your journey.
