Peter,

Do yourself a favour and copy all the favourable reports you can find about
PVP from this group. There should be a lot by now. When you have done that,
present copies to both your uro and your doctor. Enclose a polite letter to
your uro asking him to state in writing why he is prepared to discount the
first hand experience of these patients and why he considers his opinion
out weighs that overwhelming evidence. These people respond to hard facts.

Have you tried enlisting the help of Laserscope? I found them very helpful.
They can and will make a direct approach to the uro to discuss the
procedure and address his doubts directly. Try an email
mdegun@laserscope.co.uk. He is the UK sales manager and a very nice person.

My uro was quite helpful but clearly reluctant to consider PVP initially so
he sent me off on a series of fool's errands. So I did the above and he
gave in. I think most uros are cautious and do not have time to research
what is new. They believe they already have the best.

For 4 years I have been on Flomax pills [ 2 per day one after breakfast
- one after dinner ] Do any of you take 3 or more flomax pills?
They preform well during the day but the nights are still bad. I am 77 -
would love to get more sleep. Please contact me directly at
JRKutina@webtv.net. Thank you

Regards,
John Kutina
