Shannon, I want to add my welcome. What you've been diagnosed with sucks, to be blunt. But we've all been down the road one way or another and we are 100% here for you and ready to help in any way we can.

Please keep us posted on everything that happens, and ask any and all questions. There are no such thing as stupid ones! (I should know, I was pretty stupid about all of it when I started out; whether I'm any smarter today is still open to debate)

Courage!
