Today I finally got a call from Johns Hopkins. I have an appointment with Dr. Gorin for Tuesday Sept. 8. I hope this will lead to initiating treatment fairly soon…reading about the effects of treatment is scary and it would be good to just get going and find out what the reality will be for me. Besides, the sooner I start the sooner I finish.
Oh, thank God! This way I won’t have to call you and, like, actually talk to you!
Yea, I thought that could be a BIG relief…
well, good news about Johns Hopkins! Let’s get this all behind you! Love, Kat
