I just read the postings for your journey. I too am a vet with BC. Was your father in Viet Nam? I notice no new posts, I hope and pray you both are doing well.

My Aunt works for UC and doing as much research on Dr. Hamidinia as possible. Its just hard, b/c you can't really request a dr. They said 5 hrs as long as everything went smoothly and the uretha was not damaged at all.

How would I even attempt to get ahold of him.

I tried to get my dad an appt in Nov to the VA in Indy and their next appt was Jan 20th. So it was over 2 months just to get in and in order to schedule a surgery, you have to at least have a consult and they don't have a waiting list or anything along those lines.
