Bob...I'm a true believer in getting second opinions. Go online and see if there is a neurosurgen in your area that specializes in AVM's. Stay Strong and Stay Positive!
Bob,
I echo my friend's suggestions of a second opinion - it's always a good idea.
Ben's Friends has a Trigeminal Neuralgia Community @ http://www.livingwithtn.org/.
Best wishes to you.
