You have had the best possible outcome as a result of your difficult surgery.

Two years ago I received the same wonderful news following my surgery. Even though I had read the pathology report on the patient portal, my brilliant thoracic surgeon called me at home, on a Saturday, to give me the good news. Hearing her say the words filled me with joy.

Recovery takes time and patience, but it is all worth the result.
