Thanks. My surgeon used to work at MD Anderson which is a good thing. He moved back to Austin because there was a lack of cancer surgeons in the area. My oncologist said that he is the only surgeon in the area that he world recommend and that this guy knows his stuff. My other option was to go to MD Anderson but I didn't want to make the commute and, at the time, really did not understand the full extent of what was going on as everybody else seemed to have downplayed this.
I was very comfortable with him when I met hm last week and he was very open and specific as to what he would be looking for/doing. My problem was that I walked into something that I was not expecting and so did not know what to ask at the time.
