Good question...you'll need to speak with Dr. Dake about this. Since you're traveling, maybe he can set something up with local facilities for a check up. I do know it's important to check the stents, make sure they are "patent" and the veins are healing after 2 months. Maybe there will be some research grant money coming in to defray travel costs for participants. Talk to Dr. Dake, he'll give you the answer-peekaboo wrote:Cheer
In the Regimin Thread you mentioned that Jeff will be getting new MRI and MRV in a couple or mos...Will the rest of us going to stanford need a heads up to be prepared to travel back for follow up?
Woot! Woot! Really excited for you, Mark! Dr. Dake will do his own set of MRIs once you're there, for his records. He likes to do them the same time as the MRVs (same tube), so he gets the complete picture. You should double check with him, to make sure...but I'm pretty sure that will be the protocol for everyone.skydog wrote:One of my questions that I didn't have time to ask in this mornings talk with Dr. Dake was should I get a fresh MRI since the last one is now been over two years ago. Lots more questions than the brief 15 min talk would allow. Yes !!! Going to Stanford starting June 29th. I am finally going in a direction that feels right. No more hanging in limbo... Pro active at last. Yahoo !!!! Peace and good night. Mark
