Hi Ginger - my doctor left the choice up to me about traditional surgery versus ablation. He didn't say much about either procedure which isn't great for a detailed oriented person. There is something wrong with our system when a patient has to watch procedure YouTube videos and read articles from the web in order to make a decision about their treatment. In days of yore, the surgeon would announce your need for an operation and tell you what day to be at hospital. But our litigous society has changed all that now.

@donnachaidh Perhaps a second opinion is in order?
