Surgeon TestimonialWilliam S. PetersI have my initial appt set up. This is after talking to him for over one hour on the phone. He contacted me through this site to offer to answer any questions, this was without any pressure to use him as a surgeon. I am a Pediatrician and found him to be down to earth and easy to talk too long before he knew I was in the medical profession.
He is even better in person. Described surgery and complications very clearly. Sent me home to research RY vs DS. Eagerly awaiting 2nd visit. Robbie had all the information that was faxed to her ready for the visit.
Safely through the surgery. I couldn't have asked for a more skilled and caring physician
during this whole process.

Hubby done with radiation
Steve finished the 17th radiation treatment yesterday. He is glad to get the daily radiation over. Now he is just needing to heal the area of radiation and get over the tiredness that has started getting worse.
I am doing okay, we are in the busy season for the family. David is a 3rd year(equivalant to a regular college sophomore)at the Naval Acadamy and is on the Varsity Heavyweight Crew team. Sarah is 17 and doing varsity lacrosse. Becca is 14 still in religious school, Jazz band, modified (Junior high) lacrosse and travel soccer. So needless to say we are running everywhich way.
Steve and a buddy took off for 3 days in Washington DC and Annapolis Maryland to see David at a crew race on the Potamac River. I am home with the girls doing the local girls sporting.
For me personally I started to teach a water-weight aerobic class on Saturday mornings. I also have been busy in the last few monthes with religious events that I was running- Passover megilla reading and a womans seder. I have been working my two regular jobs as well. Trying to keep an even emotional keel going so I do not stress eat.
