Thank you Chris for your response. I apologize for the delay responding. Yes I believe the conversation was something like, "Six! Why would I need so many?" Of course I don't remember word for word but I believe the response was. they need to mark the area clearly in case of a cancer diagnosis and additional surgery becoming necessary.
