Lisa and Dick: thanks for responding. It is so very difficult to hang in there; not being sick enough, yet, not feeling well either.
Since I am considering going for another opinion about just waiting or investigating "options" and I don't want to participate in clinical trials at this time, anyone out there who sees Drs. Brodsky or Maciejewski? Any east coast AA patients with suggestions on who to see??
