Hi Michelle,

Sorry for the dealyed response:) We're moving and I've been surrounded in boxes and tape!!

Alright...here is my timeline. Diagnosed in March 2007. Went to Penn and had 3 surgeries. I didn't like the doc and he always wanted to cut..cut...cut. Everytime it hurt more and the healing took longer. So I went to Fox Chase for another opinion. They basically said the same thing which is to watch it. So I switched docs and went to FC for my follow ups. I was going every 2 months. I still had some pain and we were just "watching" and I didn't feel comfortable. So we decided to go to Sloan for a 3rd opinion. I saw Dr. Shah there and he said the same thing, which is to watch. To me that is the hardest part and I had to learn to live with that uncertainty and trust my doc. Since Dr. Shah said the same thing I decided to stay with my doc at FC. So, no, they did not miss anything:)

Since 2007 I am much more confident in myself and knowing my body and trusting my doctors. I hope this helps and feel free to send me PM. I would be happy to discuss anything:)

Jim...I will always be on the forums. Everyone here has helped me so much and still do. Nothing makes me happier than to return the favor and help others.
