October 28 update
After nearly a month of feeling like things were moving so slowly, I'm happy to share that the last two days have been busy with progress.
Yesterday afternoon I got the call that Lupron had been approved by insurance and that I could come in today for my first infection. 🙌
Today I got notification that the December 4 surgery is a go, with Dr. Rossi and Dr. Zani both being available to do their parts of the procedure.
I got my first Lupron injection, scheduled my second for November 24, and also had my pre-anesthesia consultation this afternoon. I'm feeling really good about the plan and am eager to move forward.
This is what was on the wall in the procedure room today.
