	Hi All, I have posted once in the past, and keep up with you by reading your posts. My father was diagnosed in the first of June and goes in tomorrow for da Vinci surgery. He's going to University of Michigan with Dr. Wood. It's about 3 hours from our home. I'm sure many of you can appreciate the feelings our family is experiencing these last hours. Thanks for all of you and the information you have provided. Julie Back to Top
