Bart - thank you for the welcome, encouragement and advice. I can't speak enough about the members of the forum. The passion and determination to assist is remarkable. I explain to those close to me the importance of this group in my life (being self sufficient up to this point) and the hope/reality of OC Tx and survival I now possess. All of you have the right to speak and we have the responsibility to listen. That is a right earned from enduring the battle. You are one more example of this. Especially at age 70? Inspirational.
