Title: No Response from UPMC in a month and a half!!!!!!!
Post by: sarahinPA on August 15, 2009, 11:45:21 am
I had my 6 month post GK MRI done on July 1st, my scans were to be sent to UPMC that day from my MRI tech. I met with my PCP who had seen the scans and even a neurologist here in my hometown who had the scans ( he isnt too familiar with GK) but its been a month and a half and i havent heard a thing from Dr. Kondziolka at UPMC in Pittsburgh!

UPMC asked me to send my personal copy of the disc with my scans and my 6 month adiogram to them, which i did over 2 weeks ago, and I still havnt heard anything!

My neurologist said that the tumor looks different, but has not changed in size, he said the consistency is different ( december before GK it was solid white, now it looks more hazy white or milky looking)

has anyone had this problem with UPMC? or does anyone know if this is a good sign!

im starting a new job in a week, im moving to a new city and looking for a place to live all in a week and i would love to put this news behind me before then!!!

thanks alot!

You were rightly concerned - but I'm pleased to learn that UPMC  (University of Pittsburgh Medical Center) finally mailed your MRI results - and that they're great!  Congratulations!  :)
