Re: Its Back

Ariana,
I'm so sorry you are having to deal with this again, but there are many treatment options for you.

If you like, you can post more information about your diagnosis and previous treatment in your signature and others who have been in situations similar to yours will be able to share their experiences and treatments with you.

Stay strong and come here to seek support and vent often. Many others have been down this road and will be happy to walk with you.
