Paul,

I consider myself lucky here to have appointments lined up at four different CCCs within 20 days of time frame. Like I said, I was diagnosed in OH, so that was my first place, Chicago was 5 our by drive and so was a second stop. PA is from where I am and PA has two CCCs. So returned to PA and arranged for remaining two opinions within 4 days. I am not sure, but I didn't have to struggle to have appointments with shorter time frame. Spontaneously, all CCCs came back with offering dates within a week time frame only when I called them.

Thanks for your word of appreciation and motivation. That's a biggest antioxidant here I need.


Special thanks to OCF and all respected members here for their support
