I expect to have prostate cryosurgery with Dr. John Piconi of Murrieta,
CA. in about 8 weeks. My condition is summarized as follows:
PSA 5.5, Gleason 6, Clinical Stage T2a. The biopsy showed cancer in 2 of
12 samples, both in the same lobe. I am 68 years of age.
Does anybody out there have experience with Dr. Piconi?

How long have you been waiting already, Ed. My mind is mush, lately, but it
seems like you first posted weeks ago.
