Joe,
You are welcome of course. Just a uggestion, think about going to RWJ in New Brunswick for a few reasons. They do this surgery a lot there and all the nurses and staff nderstand it and follow a specific protocol. People in my local hospital were not aware of it and I needed to advise them at times, which was a bit hard. Also, RWJ New Brunswick is the National Cancer Institute designated hospital in the state, and my ater surgical care was outstanding! My cousin the oncologist was pretty adamant at my going to a NCI hospital for surgery through she did say that some interesting clinical trials go on elsewhere. This is just my thoughts after my experience. You want a place that has done lots of these surgeries and knows how to care for you.
Sending you good thoughts for the future.
Paula
