Title: Inputs from medical profession
Post by: an0806 on February 08, 2007, 03:15:02 pm

Hi All,

I read/write occasionally on the CyberKnife Patient Support Group Forum (http://www.cyberknifesupport.org/forum/). Over there, they have two GREAT doctors "on-duty" answering questions from posters. You can easily tell that their opinions are not in any way biased. And I think it is great.

Granted support/encouragements from/between us patients is invaluable, from time to time we may have questions that deserve professional opinion.

Does anyone here know if there are doctors on board to answer our questions? My guess is no.

This is already a great forum for us. I just feel that it will be even better if one or two doctors can volunteer their time for the forum, like Dr. Medbery and Dr. Spunberg (wonderful professionals, humourous too !) on the other forum.

Just my 2 cents.

an,

I've been trying to tell Drs S&M (they hate when I call them that!) the same thing.. and honestly, if it weren't for them (... and for those here that cross post there like I do -- btw, I'm pbp214 over there), then I would't be in such great shape with my AN as I am.

BTW, tell Dr. M that his arm better be feeling better and Dr S that I'm going on his next Carribbean cruise, whether he likes it or not... they'll know :)

As for dr's volunteering time on this ANA board, just a thought... as the ANA was developed by an AN patient and it's focus is to keep a patient to patient forum, I like the idea as well, but not sure it falls under the initial thoughts of the board. I know (many, such as myself and others) will tend to share info that Drs M and S share with us on the CK board..... hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......

I did see one of my former doctors listed as the "Newest Member" at the top of the page, but I don't think that I have ever seen him post. So....perhaps they are around?
