Hi Shannon - I'm so glad you found this place! It really is the best place for the latest information and knowledgeable and compassionate help from people who have had similar experiences. It does help to get things ready and as you explore all the information on this site, be sure and write down any questions you might have for your doctors or for anyone here. It helps to have someone with you when you go for your appointments so you can remember what was said or suggested and discuss it later. It sounds like you already have great support with friends offering to help. Also, Cheryl's suggestion is a really good one about seeing if your appointment can be moved up so you don't have to wait as long. When my son was diagnosed, the Oral Surgeon's office made an appointment with the ENT surgeon for two weeks away but we got it moved up to the next business day (having called on a Friday)! So it can be done! Hope everything goes well for you! Let us know what happens.
