I did what had to be done on the recommendation of doctors who knew more about the situation than I did. It took a few months to decide and schedule after the initial consult.
Scared? There would have to be something wrong with a person if they weren’t scared. But I give worry to God. I can only do my part and the rest is up to him. Lesson learned from military service. Concern is one thing but worry won’t change an outcome.
Rough road ahead but no regrets now looking back. I’m physically normal again after years of struggle.
Good luck to you on this adventure.

My wife, and caretaker, and I decided early in the development of my treatment plan, that Mayo was the expert and I certainly wasn't. We decided to assume Mayo and the care team was right and we would follow their lead. Whatever they suggested, we did. For us, it worked out great, given the circumstances.
