After you recieved the news, how long did you wait before having the surgery? Since the earliest the doctor can do the surgery is on 21st march, I am a bit concerned as to if we can wait or try and do it earlier.
Thank you so much once again for sharing! I feel a bit better to be able to share my concerns.
Please keep me informed of your health as well. Wish you all the best!
Lots of love,
Kavitha
