Hi Shane,

As others have said I'm sorry you had to go looking; but I'm glad you found us. I was also scared and depressed when this journey started for me. Hopefully you will be able to see the truth of things as you remain with us: it may be a difficult fight but it is one we can win. The other members here are very supportive and knowledgable people.

One of the best bits of advice often offered here is that you should if at all possible look for a place with a comprehensive approach to treatment. As my ENT told me, its best to get all of the things needed done under the same roof.

Know that you are in my prayers.

Peace,

Fr. Mike
