CJP,
hello and welcome to the forum.
you need to repost this in "introduce yourself" so you can start your own personal thread. you can copy and paste this.
it is normal to be scared and nervous. you found the right place for a wealth of info and never-ending support.
take a pen and paper with you to your doctors appt. and write down everything. it will be impossible to remember everything the doctor will tell you, the termenology he will use, etc.
please let us know what the dr says.
