It's hard. Doctors study this stuff their whole lives and yet they leave the final decisions to us lay people...and we are left worrying that we might make the wrong choice.

I couldn't get through to Dan's doctor today but am hoping to talk to him tomorrow. Again, thanks for the link and the information.

And, I am so sorry your sister's life was cut so short.
