You have made some very good points.. here in the UK the Docs treat you purely as a patient.. I have had to work hard to make them understand that I am not a silly woman with a PC.. That I need to know what they are intending to do.. and that I will not be sent away pleased if they want to wait and see. So yep now we are get to aggresive surgery.. BUT if that's what it takes to stop this.. then so be it..I WILL SURVIVE..
love and hugs
