Chicago Area Patients

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I live in Willowbrook which is close to LaGrange, Oak Park etc. I'm

newly dx in the past 3 months. Had a TT with Modified Neck

Dissection on 8/4.

I went to the group in Park Ridge last Tuesday and I found it very

helpful. It's from 7 to 9 and even if you pop in half way you will

meet some very supportive people.

I still feel overwhelmed and I haven't had my RAI yet, however I know

this group will be here to support me.

There's so many of us in the Southwest suburbs I didn't realize it.

Donna and I are both seeing the same doctor at Loyola. What doctor

are you seeing?

Keep posting your concerns on the site. When I first started

everyone was so helpful and still is.

Judy,

My surgeon is Angelos at Northwestern. I work there and thats

where my PPO's are as well. I am seeing Dr. Desantis

(endocrinologist) on Tuesday for the first time. I may just try to

make it out to park ridge next month. I really need some support.

Can you please explain " midified neck dissection " ? I have seen that

many times but have no clue what it is or how they decide if you need

it. thanks
