No he never said he could fix it, just waht is causing it. I just now got off of the phone with him. He was explaining everything to me for the 2nd time this evening. He is really a caring Surgeon. How many call you this late or really, even call ?
He and my oOncologist have both called me after 10 PM. In some ways I am lucky .
