Just checking in, and wondering what you've decided to do about the SCT. I know that you are terribly concerned, but remember, what used to be a somewhat risky procedure 10 years ago, is almost routine now. The Management of side effects has improved enormously. Just make sure you go somewhere that has a good reputation for nursing care. So far as I am concerned, that is the biggest factor is a smooth procedure and recovery. Let me know how things are going, and you are quite correct: depression is so very common in people of "our persuasion." It sneaks up on you, and happily, responds well to the anti-depressants available. Don't suffer: let you docs know what's going on! Best regards, as always, Bob Oberle, Chantilly, VA Hi Beth!
