Elsie,
Isn't this just the most fun you can have without shooting yourself? I have been in a situation where the doctors did not always serve me as much as the brotherhood personally. So I can understand your fustration. Wendy wrote and asked me if I still had a list of Uro. surgeons she had sent me some time ago but I can not find it. But off the top of my head here goes. I would personally highly recommend any of the following the first two saw me knowing I had been with another Uro surgeon and were willing to except me as a patiant. If this does not fill your need email me directly at

This is the surgeon I used for my RC, he specializes in salvage RC following radiation amoung other things. Give him a problems and he is happy. He and I get along very well he will answer questions by email and really cares. I have heard people say he has no bedside manner but I adore him. He does three to five RCs a week and knows his buisness.
