Hi Cathy,

It's great to hear you have a good PM doc. I also have a lumbosacral transitional vertebrae. How many other surgical opinions are you planning on getting (you mention one other neurosurgeon)? Just taking a glance at your background info, it looks like you have 3 bad levels? (Is this right? I've been studying all day, so I'm in a haze.)

Interesting you mention prostate cancer research. My wife did prostate cancer research for 3 years and published 2 first author publications from her time in the lab. Duke's a great university and I'm sure your research is quite brilliant.

Well, keep us posted on your appts and how things are panning out.
