    Ok--You have a diagnose- theres were you start. It's a relief in a way to know exactly whats there so your mind doesn't run to the the worst. Its about finding the best docs for you now ,You may want to consult with two or three to see all your options and the decision will become clear. Finding the right docs for you and having a plan makes it better.  

    One step at a time-hopefully your feeling a bit better tonight.

    ilovecoasters, so this step is done and you have a diagnosis. BCO has great information on surgery options, reconstruction and understanding test results.  It is important that you are comfortable with your doctors and are able to get all of your questions answered.  I was all about gathering information so I would know which questions to ask and also had a basic understanding of the terminology they threw at me. It is all so stressful and exhausting in the beginning so try to rest when you can.  Also ask your doc to prescribe something if your anxiety gets the best of you.  I'm sorry you are going through this but know that there is a lot of support and caring here.  We're with you and you can do this!

    Hugs, 

    Sandy
