@elgie17 I haven't yet met with any surgeons as I was just diagnosed three days ago. I am hoping to meet with two different surgeons next week, but hard to know how quickly I can get in. Usually it's 3 months to get an appointment. My doctor has marked urgent and I do think mentioning that it is paraganglioma might help to get in quicker. Where are you having treatment, is your surgeon a specialist in paraganglioma and if so, how did you find them?
Appreciate any advice and information you have on finding them right surgeron.

I live in NY. My surgeon is at MSKCC. Mine was discovered 3 years ago. I used to see a surgeon from NYU. He had me on watch and wait. The para showed growth on last MRI. The surgeon at MSKCC is going to talk to the radiologists regardhimg artery involvement. As it shows that it has completely encased it. I am terrified. where do you live?
