whilted,

Why would you not review her scans and lab results? They will be available within a hour (blood work), and a few hours (scans).

To be a competent advocate you must understand them well enough to be able to understand what the surgeon is saying. I strongly recommend reviewing the, studying them and cross referencing online.

Please don't wait until you meet with the surgeon, otherwise it will be confusing.

Most of it is due to anxiety. I’ve gone over all of her scans and labs as soon as they were out in the past, but these ones feel like they’re “make it or break it,” so I’m just extra nervous and worried about what they find.
