He may not be also able to get surgery  not so much for those reasons but 
because he is the 'sole caregiver' for his Aunt... there are somethings I just 
can't help her with (diabetis injections, for example).  So he's got some 
app'ts this week to discuss options with his neuro surgeon.

I'll mention this to him, who knows the docs may already be planning on 
discussing this type treatment with him this week.

Thank you Nancy, I also hope they can do -something- soon.. it's kind of nutso 
here right now :(
