When I made the appointment, I asked my questions and was put on hold.  They told me to go to my MRI in Worcester tomorrow and go to the follow up 8/19 because Dr. McKenna might tell me something different 8/24.  If the Worcester doctor says I need surgery, he shouldn't be insulted when I say that surgery will happen in Boston.  40 miles isn't too far to travel for expertise...

Your body... your head... your decision.... dr's can try to guide us but the ultimate decision is your's, not their's... remember that :)

I'll just add that the consequences - good or not-so-good - of your decision as to what doctor/facility you'll use for your AN surgery will affect you, alone, not the doctors.
