Curt.....let me repeat "Welcome". You have found a great resource in this forum. Ditto what Bart said about writing down questions and concerns for you medical team. Do your research on this forum and other sources about your diagnosis then ask the "hoes and whys" of your medical team. No question is insignificant when dealing with OC.

Again.....welcome and keep us updated on your progress on this journey. We are all here for you.
