Hi Cathy,

Welcome from another Ontarian. I was able to join the US and CDN ANA orgs and both packages were helpful. I was at the meeting tonight and the Jan meeting is confirmed for the last Tuesday of the month - the 25th. Hope to see you there and sorry I missed you Nikki - was hoping to meet you in person - hope you're feeling better.

Thank you all for the great advice and information.  At least it's Dec. now only a few weeks to  wait for consultation, it has been a long wait.

Hi Cathy,

Can't believe another from Ontario. I went to Sunnybrook initially after diagnosis. I only waited a couple of weeks. I saw Dr. Nedzelski who referred me to Dr. Schwarts(Neuro) also at Sunnybrook, I saw him within two weeks from Dr. N's visit. I was then referred to Toronto Western for consultation of gammaknife radio. I waited about 6 weeks. Diagnosis was in March 09, I was on W &
W until June 30/2010 when I had gammaknife. So far so good. Ask away if you have any other questions. Good luck!
