Plus, you found this great place to be! When my son was in Tx, my daughter and a nurse friend of mine came with me to appointments and it really helped us to remember what was said and think about other questions. Think about You, too - Try to keep busy so you can crowd out any negative thoughts and keep calm. Stay with us and let us know what happens with the 2nd opinion.
