Stuff I think you should know, or at least consider. Be as informed as you can.

As with all things medical on my websites, the information is not meant to replace the advice of your medical doctor (and that is not who I am to you). Rather, it is here to present you with some information so that you can have a valuable conversation with your medical doctor, so that you both can decide wisely, the risks, benefits and hopeful outcomes that are best for your health. Do not seek these articles and links at my opinion or direction, they are here for your information so you can make wiser, more informed, choices.
