So Now What?

First things first -

This blog is for all who wish me well (duh, why would I care to inform those who don't?) and, as you can see, is turning into a place for me to "think out loud." I can't believe how much it's already helped, and since that's the point, I hope you don't mind if not every word is a pearl of informative medical wisdom or deep look into my psyche - this is me and that's the way it is. (You might even hear from my snarky evil twin; I let her type once in a while because she's fun at parties.)

To all who read and have (or think they have!) some medical knowledge: I am happy to have informed advice. Please understand that I already have a breast surgeon who is the chief of Breast Surgery at Englewood Hospital and Medical Center. Her name is V. Merle McIntosh (the "V" stands for Violet, which tickles me, somehow) and she has taken very good care of me thus far. If you personally know or have heard something TERRIFIC about her, PLEASE SHARE! If you have FIRST-HAND experience that you think should cause me to seek a 2d opinion - please make darned sure your info is accurate before telling me about it.
