Yes, I do have someone with me 90% or better at all appointments. It does help...I tend to get lockjaw and don't think of any questions until I leave the office. And I do have rides to the facility. I'll drive myself unless I can't...and if that happens I have family, friends and the American Cancer Society on standby.
Battle in progress...moving forward and looking for a win!
