Title: Just diagnosed. Going to Vanderbilt. Anyone been there?
Post by: bamagal on May 29, 2014, 10:00:56 pm

I have just been diagnosed with AN. I have an appointment at the Vanderbilt Skull Base Center in Nashville. Wondering if anyone has been there, how was the experience, and what doctor did you see? I am very thankful to have found ANA and all the information. 

Thanks!

I met with one of the surgeons David Haynes. I also met with Dr. Steve Abrams at St Thomas as well as Sara Cannon Cancer Center.  Ended up having radiation at Sara Cannon.

Bamagal, sorry you have joined the "club", but very glad you found this forum.  There have been recent posts about Vanderbilt.  One I recall in particular was from a member of the military, who was concerned about his ability to remain on active duty post-op.  As I recall he was pleased with his outcome.  Try typing Vanderbilt in the search box and read through those threads.  Maybe you can connect directly with others who have been there.  Best of luck to you in your journey :)
