Guest guest Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 Hi All, Yesterday, I had an appointment with the thyroid surgeon at U.VA. He, I and the endo fellow who is taking care of me all agree that I can wait at least 6 months to see what direction my Graves is heading in before having surgery. I am going to get my family doctor to monitor the Graves condition in the meantime. That way I won't have to drive up there all the time. It takes 2 1/4 hours just to get there. The endo fellow has been really good to me. We have been communicating by email. She understands my position and has answered all my questions. Unfortunately for me, she is finishing her training and moving to Walla Walla, Washington. To anyone out there, I'll be glad to send her name and recommend her. She's leaving August 15 to start practice with a large group. Aileen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
