Yes, very thankful @finnian! It was a blessing to have had some time to first learn about the condition, then identify the surgical teams that had the most cases AND highest success rate.

Your words are wise - it really can make a large impact if more people decided to heed your advice. I never realized how much of a difference it can make until I saw the results. I'm fortunate to have positive results. I also feel for you, your wife, and others that have had negative experiences. Don't blame yourself, take comfort in the fact that you might spare many people misfortune with your message.
