Looking for a good CK center in the midwest
« on: November 05, 2008, 07:30:04 pm »
Hi Everybody,

I'm looking for a good CK clinic in the midwest.   Anybody got any suggestions?

Thanks,

Kathee -

I'm in Illinois and don't know of any good CK clinics.  My docs (in Illinois) do GK if that would help you.

PM me if you'd like more details.

Retrosig 5/31/07 Drs. Battista & Kazan (Hinsdale, Illinois)
Left AN 3.0 cm (1.5 cm @ diagnosis 6 wks prior) SSD. BAHA implant 3/4/08 (Dr. Battista) Divino 6/4/08  BP100 4/2010 BAHA 5 8/2015

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways

Hi Kathee,

Here goes. :)

Start with the Cyberknife patient support site, which includes a CK locator by state:
http://www.cyberknife.com/CyberKnifeLocations.aspx

Two that come to mind are ones where doctors who participate on the CK forum are located.

The legendary Dr. Clinton Medbery is in Oklahoma:

Dr. Rosenberg, who participated on the old CK forum, is in Kansas City:

There is also one in Boulder, Colorado, another one in Oklahoma, and one in St. Louis Missouri that I have heard of, and various others in many states. If the doctors are good radiation oncologists, and have previous experience in radiation treatments, and have been trained in CK, they will do a good job of treating an AN with CK at any of the facilities.

Right side is weak too. Life is quiet.
