Hi Sunnywriter,
HI Sunnywriter50, I posted a comment to your request about Dr. Elliott, but since I've been in the hospital for the last 10 days I was concerned you may not have seen it ... so reposting as a question, so it will be at the top of the list.
I just returned home after 10 days in Sutter Roseville Hospital and see you wanted to know about Dr. Elliott. I would highly recommend him as your surgeon. My surgery (removal of ovaries and omentum and bowl reconstruction) went extremely well. His diagnosis was right on and there were no surprises during or after the surgery. While I was in the hospital I heard many great comments on what a terrific surgeon he is. Dr. Elliott also put in my Power Ports, however the port by my collarbone didn't have a long enough tube, so it was necessary to put in a PICC (a line inserted into your arm) to administer chemo and draw blood. I feel so fortunate to have changed to Sutter Roseville Medical Group on April 1st and was diagnoses with Ovarian Cancer on April 17th. Dr. Sivikumar Reddy is my oncologist who is doing the agressive chemo therapy on me (IV drip of Taxol for 24 hours, 2 litres of Displatinum in the stomac and 6 days later 2 litres of Taxol in the stomach) I had to fight to use a little friendly persuasian to get him to take me and so glad I did. I've just completed my first round of chemo with 5 more to go. I met another gal in the hospital that Dr. Reddy is treating that is having the same exact treatment as me. She was having her fifth treatment with one more to go. She's handlng it very well. Good luck and let me know if there is anything I can do for you.
Hugs, Dee
