Hi Chris and welcome to OCF. I see you have already "met" some of our resident experts and supporters:) I have only been treated surgically so I'm afraid I cannot offer any information on what you are about to go through. As you can see, there are many here who can help you though.

Your posts sounds very confident and you are ready to take this thing on! That is wonderful...you sound like a very strong woman. With that kind of attitude and the support here you will be just fine.

Suzanne
