Meet others living with Head & Neck Cancer: Introduce yourself

Hello @gangcarotid1
What a Blessing you are to me at this nervous time! Almost feels like I was back at the CRC at Vanderbilt with my Mom and her Pituitary Tumor / Cushing’s Disease for months on end during early 1992, very scary time! We ended up at Mayo with Dr. Paul Carpenter, Endo and Dr. David Piepgras and Dr. David Dudley, all amazing and wonderful!! This was back in the day, when my Mom’s Endocrinologists in Oklahoma and even Dallas, would go through their entire career without ever having a Pituitary / Cushing’s Disease patient!
Do you live close to Rochester?
Do you have a local Endocrinologist or Internist that follows you there at home?
Hugs and prayers for your well being, and thank you again from the bottom of my heart!

No, we live in the remote "hinterland" of very rural northern Idaho. We fly to and from Mayo for appts.
No endocrinologist available. Have a physician's assistant who specializes in nephrology if I need to see her. So far, going often enough to Mayo there hasn't been a need.
