It was wonderful to meet another couple from out of state while we were at Stanford. We enjoyed visiting with Tisha and her husband while we were there and knowing that someone else was going through the same experiences at the same time was helpful.
I too, had a very positive experience with CK at Stanford. Everyone we had contact with was very nice and very accommodating. Having the mask made and using it for CK on the three treat,emt days went very well. When they first put it on, it seemed a little tight but once you took a minute to relax, it wasn't a problem at all and having a little loose skin at my age was probably helpful as well. LOL I would highly recommend the procedure to anyone from my experience at this point.
We also had a wonderful time seeing the sights in San Francisco! We stayed in Palo Alto but we spent four of our days in San Francisco--scheduling touring, shopping,riding Segways in the park, etc., around my appointments. The weather was absolutely perfect! San Francisco had record highs on several days. We rented a car so we were able to come and go as we needed to. We flew into the San Jose Airport (about 20 minutes away). It was very small and easy to get around.
I would be glad to answer any questions about our experiences if anyone has any questions. You can ask them on here or PM me. I appreciate all of the reporting on experiences and outcomes that have been available on this forum. The information has been invaluable in helping me make my treatment decision. When people ask me how I found out about CK and Stanford, I tell them about this website and how helpful it has been. They give me kind of a funny look like how could you trust information on the internet and I tell them that this is where I found the most reliable information from actual patients who have been through it.
A big thank you to all of you who consistently post your experiences and provide support all of us that come here seeking answers!
