Ben, it is your life, not that of your docs in St Cloud, nor of us on this forum. I'm so glad you checked that out. I understand your concern about the roads to Minneapolis.
Having lived in Tucson, I can assure you that it will be warm there.

Whatever you decide, we'll back you here. I/we just want you to get the best care you can within your comfort zone and insurance. I still think you need a second opinion regardless.
Your doctors at St Cloud should understand.
Anne
