Im sorry Vincent but I do not post many photos. I had complications the majority of similar patients do not encounter. Theres an "after" photo of me under the key staff section of the main OCF site. Im the last one, scroll all the way thru to the bottom. Just remember... I had complications which most patients do NOT have.

Im very glad you will proceed and get treated. I know a major surgery can be frightening. The one concern I have is why must you wait until August? Cancer should be eliminated as quickly as possible, August is 5 months away. Here in the US a surgery like what you described is normally preformed 4-6 weeks after all testing and the initial consult.

Best wishes with everything!
