Healing Ahead

My doctor has now reviewed the slides with the radiologists. I've been referred to a surgeon to have the mass removed to promote better healing, reduce swelling and (in theory) provide pain relief. The mass IS NOT CANCEROUS. It's just slow to heal (most likely aggravated by radiation) and the Dr. thinks the area has a better chance of healing if the problematic tissue is removed. So we'll be meeting with our new surgeon (the old one changed to an administrative post at another hospital and took my radiologist with her) soon and we'll go from there.
