I have written these papers to help patients understand their symptoms, diagnosis and treatments; and the benefits and risks of surgery. Patterns of illness and responses to treatment can vary substantially between patients, and the site does not cover all possible conditions or treatments.

Please do not hesitate to ask me if you have concerns or questions that are not dealt with in these pages.
