I find the run around between all the medical doctors and clinics can be really frustrating and things fall between the cracks. So glad you pushed to get things looked at. I’m sorry it’s this but also glad it’s not worse.

A good office staff is critical to choice in doctors. I dropped my original breast surgeon because they couldn’t get things done.

I'm so thankful you took these steps to get the answers you need, Katie, but UGH - I know how frustrating it is to deal with all of these different players in healthcare and I won't even get started on my disdain of insurance companies!!! Please keep us posted on your progress and I'm praying for you!

Trusting your gut is such a helpful reminder. Our medical system feels so broken and being an advocate for ourselves and our families is so needed! Praying for your upcoming appointment on the 7th and for whatever lies ahead.

Thank you so much for sharing. It is astounding how hard women have to advocate for themselves especially when it comes to healthcare. Sending prayers that you are able to schedule the surgery soon rather than later and for a smooth recovery.
