I need help. I don't know where to start with this whole thing. I don't know what to do first. I know I have definitely decided that I won't quit until I have the MGB, but I am not sure what to do. I have made an appointment with a doc to talk to him about it. Then what? What do I expect? What next? Shelby in Florida >> Shelby-Fill out the pt. info form,and MAKE A COPY OF IT! Then schedule your mammogram and pap,they take the longest. Take a weekend and look at the list.What can you do right now,and what do you need others to do. Make a list-then do it! Get the pictures out of the way early on too.Conatcts:Mail at least 20. Contacts: Most people don't respond to open contacts. Honestly for 2 reasons. 1)You assume someone else will answer them. Since I get this in digest mode it's a pain to copy someones address,let alone answer their specific questions. 2) You wonder if that person is really serious,because they have not gone to the website(clos.net email a patient)and contacted people on their own. I spend so much time on the computer,as well as support the family,and rasing my kids, I honestly don't want to talk w/ people who are not serious about truly getting info. We all had to go through the process, so yeah,we remember how hard it is. Just take a weekend and knock out what you can. IT IS SOOOO WORTH IT! Best of luck to you!
