Oh K! I'm so sorry. I thought that your surgery had been early october. Well 5 weeks must be about right then. Oh Donna - I didn't mean to add to your worrries! I'm so sorry. The US University Health system can be just as beaurocratic - I think you are proabbaly in very good hands abut its great that you ar eexploring lot sof options.

Keep a positive upbeat outlook and don't worry too much about things you can't control - it will help you deal with all that is thrown your way.
I know its so totally nervewracking - the not knowing the waiting and the searching for treatment options and answers... but stress and worry isn't good for you now.

lets just go with the outcome of everything is going to be great and you will be healed and healthy- because that is going to propell you forward right now and not muttle your mind with spiraling anxious bad negative thoughts (sound like I know from experience eh? )

thinking of you and keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. hoping and praying for great news.

Get some 2nd opinions and options for treatment and you do what makes YOU feel comfortable.
