Recent research activity
« on: May 01, 2012, 10:19:29 am »
Hi all,
I remember a few weeks ago seeing a post with a link to an article on some new or promising research being done on some medical treatment controlling or preventing the growth of ANs.  I just had a Mid Fossa surgery done to decompress my second AN last Wednesday by Dr. Brackmann (amazing Dr.!) and will be going back to see him this Friday for post op appointment.  I'd like to print the article to bring to him and ask his opinion and see what else he may have to share.  Trouble is, I can't find it again.  Does any one remember it?  I think it was a thread on this forum but am not 100% sure.  Any help, I will appreciate.

Thanks,
Rich

I thought it was the House scientists that conducted the research and wrote the report.

Paul, That is what I was looking for plus more.  Thanks.

Lisa, I'll ask Dr. Brackmann what they are up to and post any info they are working on.

It sure would be nice to take action to control what these little buggers are doing in our heads rather that just watching form the sidelines.  Maybe someday.
