Oh Slick I couldn't believe it when I read this. I can't even imagine what your going through, but you definately have the right attitude and I know you can beat this. A good friend of mine is a thoracic surgeon if you'd like some of those questions answered a little earlier, I can definately relay them and see what she says, just PM me, in fact if there's anything I can do please let me know. {HUGS}
