Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 22 | Sorry, having a hard time figuring out where to post this. Anyway, anyone coming down to MDACC, and if you have any questions/problems, please let me know. I live not far from the Med Ctr and have gone thru the gamut (just trying to figure out where to park was a nightmare). It was daunting for me (living here), can't imagine how overwelming it might be for those from out of town. I am more than willing, no HAPPY, to do anything here in Houston to make anyone's stay here better. I will research places to stay, take you to drs appts, check out anything you need/want to know. I will be on call for anyone; I feel a debt of gratitude that I could never repay from this forum; please let me help in any way. | | |

Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 22 | One more thing, I know a lot of the drs at mdacc(more than I wish), so if you have any questions about any of this, just let me know (I am familiar with Head/Neck surgery, oncology and radiology, also dental and dermatology). We didn't do the PEG but many in our group did (but I know nothing about it). Hospitalized more than we wanted and learned the best way to help talk to your dr about it. Our head/neck surgeon, I had on my cell phone; and he had no problem with it. I have to say that all of our questions were answered very promptly, the nurses were incredible. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2008 Posts: 37 Contributing Member (25+ posts) | | Contributing Member (25+ posts)
Joined: Oct 2008 Posts: 37 | Amy, I live in Cincinnati, Ohio and was DX with SCC on my tongue in Nov. I am working on getting into MDA for appointment Monday 12/15/08 and staying for work up. May have to go home and return Jan 09 for treatment. So now I�m as stressed about traveling as about the disease. If your offer is still good I�d like to stay in touch with you in case I get lost or just totally freak out. I really don�t know how to work this blog site too well. If you would consider communicating with me directly, my email is [email protected]Thank you so much!
