It looks as though I am off to Alexandria with my girlfriend on October the 6th to see Dr Sinan..

From the symposium vids, he's an intelligent, animated, empathetic doc. With CCSVI experience and what seems like a genuine need to get every patient the best possible treatment. Wishing you the best and I think you've got yourself a great doctor.

I can vouch for Dr Sinan. He and his team are top notch and equipment is high end. PM me if you are interested in any tips I may offer...some things I wish I had known before going.

Thanks CeCe. It was on the strength of those symposium videos that I chose him. They say there's a 33% chance that I'll not see an improvement, and that's not even taking the fact that my MS is quite advanced into account, but I felt that with Dr Sinan I'll be confident that nothing was missed. What with his innovative use of extra balloon pressure, wires outside balloons and ballooning the length of the Azygous, just in case.

The Eurostar door to door would have been nice, getting to Alexandria will not be so easy :(

A couple of weeks ago his secretary added me to his waiting list but that same evening he mailed me to say that the list was closed for at least six months. When I read your post saying that the list had reopened, a week ago today, I emailed him straight away but he didn't reply.. Who knows why?
