Hi Cass

I had my surgery at Westmead Private Hospital. My cranio-vascular surgeon was Dr Mark Dexter. He was fantastic - very skilled and extrememly gentle and kind.

In a controlled environment (I mean planned surgery to repair unruptured aneurysms), these are very safe surgeries, and the success rate is very high.

When you go for your appointment, make sure you write all of your questions down and take someone with you that you can trust - maybe even ask them to take notes for you. If you are anything like me, you will walk out of there and not remember everything that the doctor says, or forget to ask something important.

Cheers

Lyn
