Question about 2 Treatment Faclilties
« on: January 09, 2014, 07:14:18 pm »
Hello. Does anyone have any information they would share about the Proton Center in Hampton, VA or Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, NC? Pros or cons would be great and very helpful to me. Thanks! :)

Here's a few ideas about how you can be pro-active in getting information.

Start by checking their websites for as much information as you can get on their acoustic neuroma experience.

Use the search feature at the top right corner of the page and search for each of the facilities in turn, to see if there have been any past discussions about them.

Check out the ANA website for the support groups where those facilities are located and talk to members of those groups.
