Hello, I've just subscribed to the list and am looking forward to sharing information with you all. I am a fisheries research biologist and live in Kodiak, Alaska. My 62 year old father was diagnosed with PD about 9 years ago. He and I are very close and we discuss treatment options frequently. We have been exploring the pallidotomy proceedure and would like to hear from any of you who have information about the surgery, personal experience or not. Thanks, Lew Coggins ([log in to unmask])
