Hi Dorothea,

I received your letter from Ilena, and I hope you will be able to check out the doctors she has recommended to you. I also have a list of doctors in CA--have you tried seeing some of them already? (see the list below). You may have to be firm in your decision to remove without replacements and let the doctor know you will not compromise. It seems many of them just do not understand how devastating this issue is for some of us.

Please let me know if you find this list helpful.
