Anne (why did I call you Elianne?):
You're right about getting the right surgeon/physician. Even the problems I have now, whether they're effects from radiation/chemo or not, I seem to have to argue with some doctors to "please" check for something else, instead of assuming they're from the radiation/chemo. One doctor tried to blame troubles I was having with that and I finally found a good doctor (who was an older and very experieced doctor, by the way), found out during an endoscopy that I had accute acid reflux and some other gastro problems. So, keep on your toes with problems Gordon may have down the road that are blamed on his treatments. Take care.
