Second Opinion
« on: December 08, 2008, 02:27:12 pm »
I've decided to get a second opinion for the Skull Base Institute at Cedar Sinai in LA.  I really like the idea of a less invasive surgery. We are just starting the process, I'll let you know how it goes.

Hi Steph,

We wanted to let you know that our son is having endoscopic surgery at Skull Base Institute on Dec. 29, 2008.  His AN is approximately 1cm in size.  The less invasive method by Dr. Shahinian was the surgical option that made the most sense for us.  See our topic in the Pre-Treatment Options and Microsurgical Options categories.

Best of luck with your decision and if you want to ask any questions please feel free to pm us anytime.

Thanks so much for your feedback!  I will be talking to SBI on Monday to set up a consult, first by telephone.  My thoughts will be with you and your son on the 29th.  Best wishes.
