Hi Tess, I saw your post and wanted to say hi. I live in Salem, MA and am looking at three programs: BID, BWH, and Salem Hospital. Currently, I'm leaning toward BWH and Salem, but am interested in having the transcected procedure and so am checking out the BID. Do you know if they do the transcected procedure?<p>I'm sorry your friends are not supportive. I must say that I am grateful that all of mine are, at least in supporting my decision. If you need an angel, I would be glad to be yours.</p><p>Have you met with the surgeon yet? I'm curious how long you've been in the process with BID. With Salem I'm told I could have my surgery by March, and I think the same with BWH. Anyway, my thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through this journey. May God bless you and keep you safe. Take care, Robin</p>
