Max,
Sending lots of healing thoughts your way in this stressful time. It sounds like you're holding up well. Like Tina, I think the news sounds reasonably good. I'm so sorry you're going through this, so unfair, especially at such a youthful age. You've got a great attitude. What's the impact on your school work? That's a heavy load all in itself - hope you aren't stressing over that as well. You can catch up with that when you're healed.
