No big deal. I will check with my PCP on my next visit, but it was a relief to hear that three of my cancer team doctors are not concerned with my 40% blockage, since there are no problems in my other carotid arteries. As Tammy stated, "Usually no treatment is required unless the blockage is about 80%." I have my cholesterol and triglycerides checked and have never had out of range readings, and my RO thought that the 2005 XRT "may be" the cause for this stenosis. No specialist required.

Paul, I think it is wise on your part to see a cardiovascular specialist since you are now down one carotid artery and do have arteriosclerosis elsewhere.
