Jen, my college statistics teacher started his course with the statement "There are Lies, there area D**n Lies, and there are statistics". If you follow the stats then I, along with others on this board should have been worm food long ago.

The links others have given you are good ones for finding info about your care, and that's the main thing to worry about, the here and now and how to put one foot in front of the other. Concentrate on learning all you can to make sure you get the best care you can and how to take care of yourself the best you can, and the journey will hopefully be that much easier.
