    RFA Success
    Thanks to all for your thoughts and prayers. The procedure went well so I am told. It turned out they used Microwave frequency instead of Radio Frequency. Does this make it a "MFA"?

    I was sent home the same day which was a very good indicator. The only hitch is I cannot fly for a few days. I have a flight on March 23rd to San Diego where I will begin my new career and life on the beach. Wish me well, I need to get flight clearance.

    All in all the RFA (MFA) procedure was minimally invasive and relatively easy. I would generally say that if it is an option for you "go for it". It gets rid of the beast quickly.

    so happy
    Mike just got to this great and wonderful news. So happy for you. Think beach, many blessings for you. You deserve it. Hugs, Joyce

    My fingers are crossed!
    Ahhh, let me know the outcome, what area they're attacking, how many...I'd LOVE to have this done but they keep telling me no, no, no. You're in my thoughts!
