Thanks to both of you ladies - I feel like I want to trap several of you in a room and bombard you with questions. I'll try to look up as much as I can on my own.

Once you met with a RO, how long 'til treatments started? I'm returning to work tomorrow (after RO appt) after two weeks off for tonsillectomy, and need to get my ducks in a row while I'm working.

A comprehensive center would have been my first choice, but it looks like that won't be an option for me (if I can't get to treatments, I can't take them).

Again, thank you - keep trooping
