    Many thanks to Dr Skugor for getting me in to also see the surgeon, Dr Heinlin, while I was there. I was also seen and biopsies were done by her associate. All the doctors were wonderful, explaining everything from treatment, outcome, possible complications and further possible radiation at a later date after surgery. They were very helpful, answered all questions, and made me feel comfortable about my concerns.
