Thank you for the kind words everyone!
Elaine – my boyfriend will be traveling with me and will be part of the treatment process. I’m looking forward to the further sense of togetherness that will bring for us. Up until now, as supportive as he has been, I still sometimes feel like this is my problem so I should solve it alone, and that it’s my fault that we’re in this predicament, but hopefully this gets rid of those feelings 🙂 I’m looking forward to meeting you!
