@wheel1 Thanks - Dr. Sprenkle, my doc was one the first to use it at Yale. He showed me just why on my MRI my anatomy may not be amenable to the surgery. When I met him, I told him if it comes to that - "take it out". I appreciate an honest practitioner. Right now, both Yale and Hartford Health Care (Joseph Wagner, who's done the most RP's in the state of CT) advised that I'm intermediate, favorable risk. I'm still concerned, and that's why I'm here discussing this.
