Thank you so much ... you know what makes this situation worse is I am a 8 hour flight away from my family. I can't even afford to go home anytime soon.

The thing that just gets me is I don't think catching it early will make a big difference anyway .. it will still have the same outcome. I can't believe this is happening .. and so soon after losing an uncle to the same thing.

Thanks again carole. I really appreciae it
