Hi James,

Yours situation is much similar to mine, my dad went through those treatments as well and James you and I are the same age.

Its good that your team of doctors caught on to the abnormalities early...redoing the operation was very correct.

We made the mistake of going to private doctors here in Hong Kong and not going back to Toronto. Its important to have a full team of doctors. Lots more get discussed.
