Meeting with Dr. Huang

Because I really needed a second opinion from someone I really trust. I made an appointment with Dr. Huang on 12/31. We drove over to Chinatown, New York and got there around 4pm. Steven was going to come in with me, but he couldn't find any parking space that day on the streets at all.

When I was facing Dr. Huang, I didn't know how to start in the beginning. As we went on, Dr. Huang just told me 2cm cyst doesn't need to have any surgeries yet. All I needed was monitoring it to make sure it doesn't grow bigger. He also mentioned that the risk of having the lapraoscopic surgery is to damage my intestine and he didn't really recommended. He said if we want to have another baby badly, we should just go for IVF.

One thing I like about Chinese doctors is that they are very straight forward. American doctors are too worry about all the lawsuits that they have be becareful what they are saying. On the other hand, Chinese doctors are more direct and simple.

After getting this second opinion, at least I know the surgery is out of the question. IVF..do I really want to risk having multiple births? Do I really want to force myself to have a second child naturally? Can't I just settle with only Cassandra? Isn't having Cassandra is good enough?
