Peter Haake (to Everyone): 4:56 PM: Thanks for the info..

Jim Ward (to Everyone): 4:58 PM: This may or may not related to PC, but has anyone in this group had a symptomatic inguinal hernia that needed surgery? If so, perhaps respond with a private note for dicussion off-line. Thank you.

David Muslin (to Everyone): 5:11 PM: Tracey, I could not agree more. That’s what Ancan all about for me. We are not alone…..

John I (to Everyone): 5:11 PM: I didn’t have any pain but my doc recommended surgery so that it didn’t worsen & cause complications. I had the laparascopic procedure with the mesh and I think it was in ~1998 and I haven’t had a problem with it. It would have been a simple outpatient procedure, but my lung collapsed during surgery, so I needed to stay overnight.

Carl Forman (Private): 5:17 PM: Need to sign off. See you next time. Will ask Oncologist again about abi. Thanks.

Peter Haake (to Everyone): 5:17 PM: That’s interesting, I had hernia surgery 2008?. Never made that connection
