CH - It looks like your surgeon has all of the recommended board certifications. She should be able to do an excellent job, in my opinion.

Are you in Boston right now, or are you still in Miami?

PS : It looks like you have a spelling error in your surgeon's last name.

PPS: You may also want to review some of rp1954's posts about peri-operative use of Cimetidine or Celebrex for minimizing problems during or after surgery:

Thanks for sharing those links. I will study them. I¨m in Miami , and will head up day before surgery. I really like what Brigham and Dana Farber had to offer.

Thank you.

She's going to do mine late October. I finished my Chemo and Radiation last week and will have an MRI in early October and a meeting a few days later.

It looks like she is well-qualified to do the type of surgery you need:
