Kathleen,
I was reading the archives and came across your Happy Thanksgiving, Canadians.  I love Thanksgiving!
I see you are from Ont.  I was wondering where you had your surgery and who's your Dr.  I'm waiting to see a Dr @ Toronto General and a Dr @ St Michael's in Toronto.  I am not from Toronto but I live an hr away.  I was not happy with the Dr I was referred to in my home city.

Thanks,
Anne Marie

My inital surgery was done by Dr. Gintili at toronto western and my regrowth was done by Dr. Nedzelski at Sunnybrook.
Hope you're able to find someone who you're comfortable with. Dr. G. hasn't much bedside manner but has been doing excellent work for a long time. Dr. Ned. also has been doing excellent work for a long time and has a wonderful bedside manner!
