My medical summit


I had my meeting on Monday with Dr. Jiya,Dr. Paul and Dr. Lips and the verdict has been spoken. There will be 1 to 3 operations. The first is of the top 5 vertebrae and then possibly we will move on to the bottom vertebrae and then there the pin in my left leg. If he doesn't manage to get that done in the first operation, there will be 2 operations instead. After all that is settled with, they will regroup and take a look and see if they might approach the tumor from the front and that would mean the chest operation will take place later on. So 2 to 3 operations will probably take place. More on that later-

you're so strong i'm so sorry you have to go through this at all. if he can keep it to two operations that would help you, but the recovery will be hard, so don't them rush you. take it a day at a time and your family will be there to support you.

a friend from nyc lee hachadoorian just had a 12 pound tumor removed from his stomach last month and is recovering well.

i know its not as complicated as your case, but he's a lil skinny guy and you look to still have some strength about you. maybe it won't be as horrible as you think. at least you don't have to be the surgeon.
