Definite diagnosis of MoayMoya
Oct 26th, 2008 at 3:05pm
 
Hey there!

Well, we finally got to go see a new neurologist and they said that my husband does have MoyaMoya.  They are going to refer him to Dr. David Newell at Swedish Hospital in Seattle for surgery.  They said that they hope to have it all done within the next month.  I am so happy.  I was afraid that they would drag this out.

I want you all to know that I appreciate all of the posts I got when I first visited here.  I was scared and didn't really know which way to go for the information I needed.  Those of you who posted on my last topic, I really appreciate all of the information you gave me.  It was because of that that I started asking doctors questions and getting things done.

So, thanks again.  I am sure I will be back to let you all know how things are going.

Helen

It's wonderful news that your husband was properly diagnosed, however PLEASE check your doctors credentials regarding Moyamoya.  Just because someone is a neurologist doesn't mean they know how to treat it.  You are so close to Dr. Steinberg at Stanford, who is a specialist, I would hate for you to miss out on an opportunity that is so close.

All the best to you and your family!!
