I am a 36yr old single mom of 2 children and really do not have the
resources or finances to travel to Atlanta but its good to know about it
nor do I have the time off or work available to me I had back surgery in
Jan of this year for a herniated disc and have used up my time. I
scheduled the hyst for Sept to try and prepare and make sure my children
were somewhat stable in school. Im going to ask my urologist to be on
standby due to the involvement. I live on the Coast of MS. Do you mind
me asking do you use a specialist in LA .. I did have an appt at
Ochsner for early Sept but will probably have to cancel because they are
not in my network for health insurance. How long have you been dealing
with this?? Take Care
