Thank you! I was surprised too, then shocked when I sat with the specialist who was more clear about my diagnosis. The good news is that my specialist is at Mount Sinai, which is on a list of specialists I think you may have posted here. I’m still nervous, but a little less now.

Being nervous is very natural, @merenyc. I certainly can empathize with that feeling. Just keep asking questions and seeking support on Connect and we will be here when you need to share. After your surgery on the 27th, I'd love to hear from you again.

Has the surgeon explained how long you will be hospitalized after the surgery and what to expect?
