Thanks for the response Andrew. I'm lucky enough to be in an area with some pretty good treatment options. My appointment on Monday is at University Hospital in Cleveland. I took a look at them online and it looks like they have a pretty good team there. Then there's also the Cleveland Clinic right there too, so like I said, I am at least blessed with options in a fairly close area.
