dadstimeon Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 Hi Deidre, Welcome and sorry you had to find us under these circumstances. Best place with lots of support, information and caring from a great group of (the best) people. Not sure why you have not found any treatment options? Do you have an Oncologist? That would be the place to start. Find out as much as you can about your situation then research, research and more research. Knowledge is the key. Take one step and one day at a time. Stay positive and focused. Be pro-active. Below are some sites to get you started. Hope this helps. Peace, take care and God Bless.

stand4hope Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 Hi Deidre and WELCOME! I have no knowledge about your diagnosis or treatment, but there are a lot of people here who will jump right in and give you a ton of information. They will probably ask you for a little more information, though, like what treatment options your doctors are proposing, etc. You have come to the right place for help. Everyone here is warm, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable (and also very funny at times). Once again, welcome! God bless you, Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katester Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 Hi Diedre, I am in the process of learning myself so I am not at the point to give advice but I do want you to know that I have learned more through this support group than I have from anywhere else. Keep reading, keep asking and keep learning. Wishing you wellness. Kate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paddy Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Welcome Dierdre, Looks as if you have a wealth of information here already Dierde, especially from Rich. It only remains for me to say I do hope you will find a treatment that works very soon. Paddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
