Lori

I jumped up and down and screamed at how long it was taking to get my surgery also. I was diagnosed June 8 and they did not do surgery until Sept 25. I did have 2 rounds of chemo 3 weeks apart during the waiting time though. My oncologist told me that it took a lot to put this type of surgery together and that was why it was taking so long. The surgery was over 18 hours and at one point they talked of doing it during the middle of the night to get the operating room.

I would ask the surgeons why and express your concerns and desire to have it sooner rather than later. Ron is fortunate to have you to do this type of talking and questioning for him. I am by myself and by Labor Day I had reached the point where I felt so awful I did not have the energy to jump up and down and scream any more.
