Hi, great site, and has been very helpful.
I was wonderfing if there are any others out there that have peripheral nerve tumor(schwannoma) on the brachial plexus? Mine is huge(8cm) and under my collarbone. I have been out of my mind with pain etc, but finally may have hope as I have conatacted Dr. Nath in Houston and he replied immediately, and may be able to help me and is willing to adjust his packed achedule.
any helpful info is greatly appreciated!

Hi Gret,
Sorry to hear about your tumor.
Just wanted to let you know that I have a travel page on how to get to Texas...there's a whole lot of info like hotels, how to get from the airport and more...
It's for the kids who go there - so you won't be able to get the free airfare...but all the rest of the stuff might be helpful.
I hope that Dr. Nath can help you. He's my daughter's surgeon and we think the world of him.
Good luck,
francine
