You're right. The Dr's nurse handed me the BAHA box and told me where the audiologist was and that was it. I think a lot of Drs are in it for the money...from what I've experienced in the last 9 months.


That is just SO sad.  I hope you find a better doctor, Dani.

We are thinking of you and hoping for the best.  Take care of yourself and keep us updated on your situation.

Well Dr. Dornhoffer at UAMS in Little Rock is top in his field, never regreted once going with him, my cousin developed a simliar type of brain tumor but he wouldn't listen and went with a Dr I flat turned down, sad to say this is his 3rd tumor now as the doctor he is using never gets it all out so it comes back worse each time, needless to say his outlook is getting grim....

 Wish  I was in Little Rock!

I'm awake, but not happy with it! I have another pounding headache. My sister's baby woke me up 'cause he "lost" his pacifier. I heard him and jumped up before he woke up the other two kids, and BLAM-there it was. Igave him the paci and took my ibuprofen. Now I just have to wait......... :(

Well UAMS (Univeristy of Arkansas for Medical Sciences) is on the level of John Hopkins as a teaching hospital, my tumor was 12mm in size,agressive and pretty nasty, Dr Dornhoffer trained in Germany under the top AM doctor.

K-

Thanks.  I don't have a headache and didn't have one yesterday, so I guess is it better!

Uh, did you mean to address that to Dani, by any chance?  he he...  Did we take one too many painkillers this morning?   :D

At any rate, Dani, I hope your headache gets better too!
