Thank you, Sandra. After my post I thought about how crass it may have sounded. I don't want to appear as though I'm giving up before the ship is launched. But your eloquent statement summed it up. When armed with good info, weighing options is the brave thing to do. And refusing treatment certainly is on the list of options. I may be facing an ENT soon who is going to give me a list of decisions to make. I just want to know what is entailed in any decision I make. I'm sure he'll be of great help too in that process. Thank you for being here. I'm looking forward to some strong shoulders in the days to come.
