Hi Everyone. Thanks for your replies. It's great to hear from all of you.

I don't have anyone to take along with me to appointments. But I will try to take good notes. And I'm trying to write up my list of questions.

I guess I was not being as positive as I can be. I am worn out dealing with other serious health problems. So worn out I could not do much reading about the other problems. And then this tumor showed up, and it was feeling like strike three. But I did come here for help, so I guess I still have some fight left in me.

Thanks.

Andrew
