This forum is a place to snivel if you want.
Since you are in the St. Louis area I would urge you to join the Newly diagnosed support group. I gave been going over two years and it has been a blessing. You meet the nicest people and can see the different stages. No one is alike. We meet the second Tuesday of the month at 1 PM at the Siteman Cancer Center. This is probably where you see your neuro. Please come. It is sponsered by MDA.
