Thanks Gary... trust me, I know that you and Brian only want what's best for me, and that includes starting whatever treatment I chose ASAP!

I am going to UCSF to have my 2 wisdom teeth pulled, (since it must be under general), so I'll ask for a consult with their RO.

Last time I spoke to her (Dr Bucci?) she was very optimistic about me having a total cure, saying their 3 year cure rate was approaching 85%!

As always I appreciate the comments, direction and ideas!!!
