I had the surgery at the Naval Hospital in Guam...it states in my
records that it was a myoma subserosal I have done a search on the name
because I knew that he planned on getting out of the service within the
year following (it has been 3 years) and have his home location, but how
could he remember me??
I am also in the process of trying to obtain the actual op report, but
my doctor said she needs to know what his exact procedure was. Thanks
for all of your info.
