Julie,
I receive emails telling me that people are leaving this site as they feel they are being pushed to hard to get a second opinion. That we are too serious and it is no fun here that we should lighten up. And I tell them that the reason people push them is because of cases like yours.
I do have an Indiana and Dr. G did a great job for me. If you would like to give me a call I will be in my office most of the day on Monday the number is under the contact us button in the main menu.
The is a point for most of us that we go from terror to fight mode. That does not mean you will not have moments of intense worry and anxiety you will, but you now have a direction and there is nothing like knowing who the enemy is to give you focus.
I will stop here as I am sure others will give you a lot of advice. And remember when you get through all of this it will be your job to tell your story to the new guy on the block so they understand why a second opinion is so important. I am sorry you have to be here but I am happy you are now a part of our community.
