How have things been for you and have you had any success with dr's?

Hi All,
Well it's been about a year since I last posted on here and just stumbled upon it, as I am now researching rib resections.
After a year of tests, delays, 2nd, 3rd, 4th opinions, my specialists have all concluded the same thing you had 12 months ago! I need a bilateral first rib resection.
I am meeting with a vascular surgeon in the next coming weeks to discuss my path towards surgery.
It has been a frustrating and long year, with many specialists never seeing a case like mine before and not having the slightest idea how to tackle the problem.
I'll keep you all updated as I finally move forward to recovery!
