Hello everyone ,
MY name is Terin i hibl and im having trouble going through my doctors on not wanting to help me when i was 8yrs old i had brain surgerie for my seizures and when they did the surgerie they discovered that i had an astrocytoma brain tumor on the left temperal lobe they removed most of it . And now im 26 and found out that my brain tumor has returned after 17 years and im having problems with it and my doctor that found it on the scan doesnt want to see me until November , And im wanting him to send me back to Seattle to be seen by my doctor that did my first brain surgerie there and he wont and im stuck on what to do . And if any of you have any ideas let me know Thanks God Bless Sincerely Terin Hibl. Posted on 09/03/09, 11:09 pm |

Have you had any success in getting the appointment moved up or getting a referral back to your original surgeon?

Try a different docotr. Losing you periperal vision is no small matter. Call and ask for the clinic manager. Tell them you will sue if you have any permanent side effects for waiting. Go to the ER if you have to. You need care.

Make an appointment with your Dr. in Seatle. Most likely they still have your file and you are an existing patient so you don't need a new referal. They have no right to prevent you from going to another Dr.

Hi, I wanted to tell you that I do know where your at with that question. I was having seizures for 13 years. They thought that it was epilepsy. But it was a tumor growing in the same place as where yours is. They told me after so many MRI's, that it won't return. So yours grew back? I am going to be seeing a neurologist here in a couple of weeks, so I am going to see what he has to say about this. I would really like to keep in touch so we can share as to what is happening. My name is Jan and I do hope to hear from you.

you can get all your test results from where ever you had them done and send them to the other dr. then the dr. who did the surgery can decide if you need to be seen by him and actually request the referral..
