Fowki,

So if they approve you, you're going through with it. Who is the doctor and where are you having it done?

Also, what does "BTT" mean?

BTT = Bump To Top

Yes, I am going to do it. The Doc is Kenneth Ott here in San Diego.

Mine will be slightly different as I will be done under general anesthesia due to my Parkinson's.

Fowki,
I hope you'll post about your experience. I've only found a couple of posts through searches where people have described their experience with this procedure. I also hope you'll get a favorable outcome and some relief from the pain.

I'm anxious to hear how it goes for you, too....which I hope is great. This seems to be the most "attractive" procedure to me out of all of them.

Okay, I'm approved! Friday I meet with the Radiation Oncologist, and then we schedule the procedure......
