Hi Robin Marie and Welcome. You've come to a good place. Whatever happens, this site is a great place to ask questions and get information that the doctors, however good they are, don't always have, since most never went through what we have gone or are going through. Good luck with the next stages. Please stay in touch. -Michelle
