Pamela, we all know how frightening this is for you. We all have been there. Are STILL there! But it DOES get better when you start reaching out and getting answers. Being your own advocate. As you are given literature to review, you will formulate more questions to ask. Be sure to write those down for your doctor and write the responses too. Then you can ask us specifics about the practical day to day stuff. The coping we learn here.
Keep the Faith!
