My surgery has now been moved up to July 31st.  It will be performed at UCLA by a thoracic surgeon.

She will be going in through my left side with a scope to see if she can just get the affected tissue that way.

If she cannot get it that way, she will go in through my upper left chest.

We are praying it is not too close or surrounding the area of the first surgery. If it is she will have to remove that part of rib and sternum.
