Hello Brett,

I think you made a good decision for your case. The quality of life issues would have kept me from that treatment. How can they be so sure that the odds were so low for the surgery. Usually they can't give you a definate percentage or much of a time frame.

I am hoping your decision was the correct one and that you receive the intended results. Please take comfort in knowing I and many members will be pulling for you.

Please keep us posted as you start yet another journey. Try and think positive and vent here anytime.

All My Best, Danny Boy
