Thank you for the message. It was detailed and gave me a clear understanding of my diagnosis.
Your report confirmed that antibiotics do not need to be used preventively in my case. It also reassured me that a doctor should first advise on how to live with the diagnosis and what to avoid.

Thank you very much for your time and assessment.
Your words have reassured me before the planned procedure. I am very satisfied.

I would like to thank you for evaluating my diagnosis and for the advice on how to proceed further. Essentially, this opinion aligns with the recommendation of my surgeon, who, unlike the opinion you provided, does not consider my condition to be urgent and has scheduled the surgery for June this year. The main reason for this delay is the lack of available surgery dates.

Thank you very much for the professional view and recommendations, I learned information and treatment options that were not told to me by my doctors at all.

First of all, I want to thank Dr Balog for the highly professional report. I appreciate his opinion, which helped me and confirmed what I identify with and can decide how to proceed now. It was clearly explained, which even a layman can understand. I'm glad that you can get a second opinion this way.
