Hi everyone,

Just got home from work and feeling terrible frown. I have decided to contact someone at Moore's Cancer Center in San Diego. My question is, do they do diagnosis at these Cancer Centers or are they only for treatment after diagnosis. I am just trying to figure out how to find someone with experience dealing with cancer so I can find out whether or not that is the issue.

I keep holding on to hope that this is merely some sort of infection. Unfortunately my recent blood tests don't support that theory. I don't know if you can have an infection with no reaction revealed in your blood count. Here's hoping.

Even the prospect of this is so devistating. It has been a really rough six years or so, and a few months ago I finally moved out to California. I have wanted to be here for ten years, and I finally am here and with the most amazing man in the world to boot. (No offense to the guys in here who thought THEY were the most amazing.) I am looking forward to a great future, and its hard not to think about how this will change things.

I am so sorry you are all going through this. I can't say that enough. It is down-right terrifying thinking you may have cancer, to actually have it and manage to keep your wits about you is impressive. I find you all impressive and inspirational and I hope that I handle myself as graciously no matter what the outcome.

If anyone knows the answer to my question about cancer centers and diagnosis, please let me know.

Thanks again smile
