I hope with all my heart that this is the answer for the Kamikaze !! He has been so levelheaded and intelligent through all the CCSVI ranting and raving and has seen all the very best doctors in the world that this decision to take the CCSVI route probably wasn't easy. Let's all cheer him on !!!

Proud of you man.
RRMS Dx'd 2007, first episode 2004. Bilateral stent placement, 3 on left, 1 stent on right, at Stanford August 2009. Watch my operation video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwc6QlLVtko, Virtually symptom free since, no relap
Oh, wow! Definitely rooting for you, Marc. I've found your posts and blog entries to always be intelligent and of interest.
Btw...he's also released Dr. Sclafani's contact information...

Good for you Mark,
If you do have PPMS the good news is that the azygous vein should also be involved and it has an excellent chance to remain open after ballon angio.
Even if you do not have classical MS but have CCSVI I would get the angio anyway. I am in a similar situation even though I am still ambulatory with some help so I will follow up your progress hoping you will need to change your name after the procedure to something like " Jogging Kamikaze"
Best wishes

So exciting!!! I hope his outcome is ALL positive!
See, there are doctors willing to treat us here in the US, we just have to find and educate them on CCSVI!

Procedure
Marc, Wishing you a great outcome with Dr. S. It was a thrill to meet you in his office. By the way, you are so much more handesome in the flesh than in your blog pic.

If Marc is Going for It, Then CCSVI Has Credence
Marc, your posts are informative and unbiased. You put alot of thought into your points of view on discussions regarding dealing with MS and on deciding to pursue this new CCSVI theory.
I wish nothing but good luck and hope to hear a new man has emerged from this procedure.
I am getting tested very soon, but will wait it out a bit on the surgical intervention until professionals in Canada are adept at performing the stenting and angioplasty in veins.
I look forward to reading about your progress on your blogs.
