@abettera1961 Brian, if you are going to Northwestern anyway, perhaps you could make an appointment with Dr. Tyler Koski, neurosurgeon. I have heard he is excellent. Maybe he could give you a second/third/fourth opinion. I don't think it could hurt considering all you have been through and are facing.

@rdg60 - of course. If you can paraphrase in lay language, all the better.
