Got your PM reply. I can see why you do not want all the details you have shared before plus all the new information last night on the public forum, and I will honor that. But as I mentioned before, I rarely reply more than once to PMs since so many OCF posters only "lurk" and I want my advice and comments available to all. Plus I'm still far too snared in the sin of Pride to give PM advice only to see the same questions on the public forum seeking a different answer.
My true concern remains that you have a misplaced trust and faith in fatally flawed technology. Which would not be a problem if wasn't causing you unnecessary anguish, pain and affecting serious life decisions for you and Jeff.
I know from personal and very distressing experience about what happens when your voice is essential to doing a job and you develop a speech impediment so serious you have to retire in good conscience. I know the agony of having your entire retirement plans ruined just before they came to fruition.
Actually the decisions facing you and Jeff are even worse that what I and Bev have had to face, with the happy exception that no one is writing his obituary prematurely as the radiologist community seems to be hell bent with me.
You will understand when I say that I believe God shares my opinion of these tests which is why Gideon's approach in Judges is not the way here. Certainly PaulB's experience is moving testimony on the limits of scans.
I wish I did have the answers you seek.
