Jim..Hooray! I am soso glad to hear that you went to a CCC for the best advice available, that you are no longer put in the position of having to make this huge decision with inadequate information, and that you seem, now, satisfied that you are on the right course and are focused. You obviously have come a long way in your realization of the seriousness of this disease and the need to treat it with all the ammunition available. Good for you! Now.....go get 'em! Dig deep, and you'll get through it. Consider it a journey. XO
