My sister-in-law, Julie works at Johns Hopkins Hospital in an oncology department. When she heard about my diagnosis, she immediately went to her colleagues to see who could meet with me. I met with one oncologist/surgeon the day after I got my diagnosis. He spoke with us and told me that he only does "open surgery" rather than "laparoscopic surgery." We left JHH and thought about what type of surgery I should go with. The next day, I met with another doctor here in Howard County that does only laparoscopic procedures. It seemed fine and I scheduled a June 14th surgery date with this doctor. The following week, I met with another doctor back at JHH who did the lap. surgery. He could do it June 23, our 4th wedding anniversary. Jason and I thought it would be best to go with JHH, one of the best medical facilities in our country. I had this opportunity given to me by my connection with Julie. Why not take it? So, I canceled the June 14th date for HCGH and prayed for the best.
