I am new to the blog and not sure what I am doing at this point. I am going thru BCG treatment sessions at present. If this does not work I will need to have a RC. Where and who should I consider to perform the surgery. I am female and live in the Atlanta, Georgia area, however I am willing to go anywhere.

You hear about people that make a difference and are amazed.

At this site, you are for sure someone that amazes everyone, but also someone that makes a difference.

The research that you do for everyone, the advice that you give, and the information you share is something that just can't be re-paid.

Thanks for who you are and know that someone who was so important to you is probably looking down and saying, Yup, that's my gal.

Thanks Mike..but funny all i can remember are the ones i don't make an impression on. I hope that i help. I had a wonderful mentor in Wendy back when it was Web/cafe forum and i'd like to think i have followed in her example of research and guiding people to that research so that they can make a informed decision.
By the way i found my present internist after my great one died by asking my top opthamologist who he went to...kinda sneaky but hey it works. I really do think the most dedicated docs are still in the University setting but you still have to be your own advocate or have someone willing to do that for you. It doesn't make you very popular however!! I have seen so many mistakes done particularly with drugs and thats another story!!!

Pat,

I agree. I never liked that line because I also thought it didn't really do anything. If anything, the question should be "Who would you go to if you had xxxx?". They can't go to themselves so it would have to be somebody else. Even then, the research is the way to go to find the best answer.

Every doctor is going to think they are good so I'd expect the answer would almost always be "I would send my mom right here since we are one of the best".

Bunch of hooey!!!!

So sorry to read your story about your husband. I hope you realize that people all over the world appreciate all you do and that you have changed and saved lives by what you do on this forum and others.

Mike
