Jean, I am sorry to hear about your dreadful disease, I agree according to the pictures, your symptoms look very serious. As I look closely at the pictures, those little curvy things look quite serious, looks like you need strong magnification to see perform the very tedious surgery . That long skinny jagged brassy looking growth, would take considerable time to remove from the area of whence it was formed.
Oh wow so much for the medical jargon that I know nothing about, that is some real serious modeling, I hope you are able to place that at a location where others can appreciate your magnificent piece of art. Great job.
Dennis
