Patient Reviews
May 01, 2021
During my initial consult at MD Anderson, I suddenly could not speak. In the middle of my first visit, I was sent to the ER to find I had brain metastasis, severely affecting my speech and cognition, and a second brain tumor. Both were hemorrhaging so first I underwent gamma knife radiation with the incredible Dr. McAleer. After going home, my improving speech became much worse, sending me to a local hospital. With the help of Dr. Davies, Dr. Heimberger and her amazing nurse practitioner, Cheryl, they got me back to Houston the next day and ready for removal of that tumor by Dr. Heimberger the following day. She saved my life and the quality of my life is back close to 98% of what I was before this diagnosis. I’m so thankful for her skill and passion for research and for removing that cancerous tumor, found to actually be melanoma! I would not have this life without Dr. Heimberger, Dr. Davies, Dr. McAleer & also Dr. McKean back home. My fear turned to hope. Always go here first!
