Hi Betsy -
You probably got the best first response you ever could here at OCF. Christine has been through a lot and helped a lot of others get through their problems.

I don't know anywhere as much as she or others know, but I do know how much of a help the family has been for me since I was diagnosed. It is just as much a help to caregivers as to patients. When you need info or just a sympathetic ear we have those in abundance.

From your first post I can tell you've really prepared yourself as your fathers advocate. I wish I had one like you.

welcome Betsy, you will find some peace here.

Tony
