Virginia,

Best to start a new topic....go to the top of a forum, in your case..INTRODUCE YOURSELF is fine. Once you have done that and told us about yourself, you can move your questions into new forums under say, CURRENTLY IN TREATMENT.

You did find how to fill out your signature but add to it. Date of DX (diagnosis) / date treatment (TX) start/ what kind of chemo and perhaps radiation details. See my signature for help. This keeps you from having to repeat a lot of info each time you post.

You are doing fine and we are all here to help you thru this. I think all of us would have liked the opportunity to get treatment at Hopkins so it looks like you seeing the best of the best and that is good.

Keep posting here, it will give you a lot emotional support and great information.
