		 Dear Soccer Mom, 
 
  
Great advice posted by everyone above..Stay connected here, and when questions come up in your mind.  Post them here.  The information from everyone is so valuable.  When you meet with your oncologist, be sure to take a notebook with questions prepared in advance, which will aslo allow for a place for you to write down what he says.  It is difficult in the beginnig to focus on the information overload, and I have found taking notes that I can look at later really helped.   
  
I wish you well tomorrow at your visit, and I will be thinking of you
