Dai it seems like forever but believe me once you're on treatment it's kind of like oy why was I rushing this so much get me outta here!!!!!!

Thank God it's such a slowly progressing disease that we don't have to start tomorrow and can sort of wrap our heads around what is going on and learn all we can so we can win the battle!

I waited almost a year to start treatment from original diagnosis, but it was because I waited for a trial study.

Good Luck.
