Hello @johnnyfive and welcome to Mayo Connect. I can certainly understand your concern. Please know that it is always your right to seek a second or even third opinion if you are uncomfortable with what your current medical team has advised.

In addition to the follow-up in a year, did your doctor advise you regarding restrictions like lifting, etc.?

I have "mychart" and I just got a note saying to scan it in a year and nothing else. Nothing was said about anything else. I would have thought my family doctor would have at least met with me to put my mind at ease. I guess when you have "mychart" it takes the personal touch out of healthcare. It's made to be more efficient for doctors and get the word to patients quicker. I guess I get it, but with something like this a phone call would have been nice. I see the VS in two days and I'll post my findings and next step. With mine being 1.8cm I'm not taking any chances with my health. My gut feeling is that he will put me on the wait and see program. If so, I'll be contacting Mayo to get their opinion. If everyone says wait and see then I'll do that. I just want to make sure it's coming from the right people and then I'll be alright with it. I'll continue to post my journey for everyone.
