How much will it cost? It would be nice if their homepage would give this info. Are you able to research this, HM?

This is just unbelievable. Just shows the lack of knowledge of the ABOG about the lack of options for men with pelvic pain especially if they want PN/PNE surgery. I will sign the petition once it gets started.

I didn't check back on this for a few days and somebody else started one in the meantime, here is the link: http://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/t ... e_petition
