Remember that this is no longer a new, experimental surgery. Thousands of these have been done, and with great outcomes.

Also, your husband is a candidate! That means that his doctor believes that he can get through this and do well.

Is there a support group available? It always helps to talk to folks who've been there.

Best of luck to you both.
