Leslie B, I posted a reply but have no idea where it ended up.LOL. My Surgeon is 1 of about 12 that work and consult on cases. I do have a lot of faith in them after I was saved from being made an almost vegetable at WVU in Morgantown , Wva. My cancer was a 2 so I think about it from time to time.Also I got scoped for Barretts esophagus I've had surgery for a few years ago on the 17th of this month. I saw the Dr for the report today. He told me my Barretts looks really great for some unknown reason and now it isn't a scope every 6 mo. but once a year.I'm thinking the guy upstairs is looking out for me as he has for years. I've been thru the "Mill" LOL aortic anneursym surgery and all. Thanks for the interest all.
