Thanks for your help, both personal and on e-mail. Dr Bahn has declared me cancer free after 2 years of watchful waiting, including 3 coloroscopies.There is no cancer , but evidence of BPH problems over 50 yrs. Was scheduled for a biopsy by a local Urologist, but I did research , found you and Dr. Bahn , and have not had a biopsy. Thanks again. Dr Bill Reeves
