Suzanne,

Just wanted to let you know that you are not alone in feeling anxiety, and as if you are on a roller coaster. Hang in there. The farther out from dx you get, your anxiety will probably lessen and you will find that you are able to have longer periods of time where BC is not in the front of your mind.

Others more knowledgable than I will help you with the technical answers. Just know that we are all here any time you need us!
