Dreams, with a capitol D, are messages from your soul, or sub- conscious, or whatever you wish to call it. Not everyone Dreams.... scientists say that everyone has dreams; but not everyone remembers them upon waking.

If cancer has spread to the lymph nodes close to the prostate, these may also be removed by laparoscopy during surgery. This lymph node dissection is not necessary and thus is only performed on patients at high risk for metastasis (spread) of prostate cancer. See similar questions...
