Somehow you just knew this was a recurrance.  Ive gone thru this myself.  Not just once but twice Ive had recurrances.  Its not easy to get thru this but it can be done.  I feel that I am a very very fortunate person to have gotten thru OC 3 times.  Its good that this has been caught early.  Best wishes with your appointment.
