Marge,
This may be obvious, but could the surgery be postponed a while?  How close
does child seem to be to weaning?  Also does he nurse just once a day or very
often?   If the injection is given 1x per month, it sounds like the effects
last a while.   Could mom seek second opinion if surg is needed right away,
could it be done without this drug?
