@heart4wi I'm happy to hear you got a partial solution. Are they just doing a stent trial before tracheobronchoplasty? I re-applied, and in my "condition" I stated I needed to see internventional pulmonology, added my muscle tension dysphonia that also came about from the same goiter surgery, requesting a laryngologist, and then in the "anything else you'd like us to know" is where I added the fact I can't have most medications, and that I would need their pharmacogenomic anesthesia team. Hopefully I get in this time because I specified the specialists, instead of just leaving it up to an intake clerk and Mayo's AI. I live in Minnesota, and Rochester is only 93 miles away. The clinics up in the Twin Cities are just that: clinics, like any other.

@maidenmn I am just across the creek in Wisconsin.
They don't really know yet how they will handle the stent. I had tracheal cancer.
I will tell you that the stent is no picnic - it comes with its own set of health issues.
