Re: Recommendation from my 2nd opinion...

Chelee,

I am so glad to hear that you have a plan of action, but I understand your frustration in trying to get it going. I can't imagine how tired you must be. Dealing with a recurrence is bad enough, you shouldn't have to work so hard to get the treatment you need.

I wish you the best and pray that things start falling into place for you soon. Rest this weekend and start fresh on Monday. Please keep us updated as much you can.
