Paul,

As others on this site say, "welcome to the club that nobody wants to join."

Your experience sounds a lot like others that I have read on this site. Your positive attitude is to be commended.

Since I found this site a few months ago, I can tell you that you that I have found the people who participate on this forum to be some of the most sincere, compassionate, knowledgible people that I've had the privilige to encounter anywhere.

I wish I would have found this site much earlier in my treatment.

John
