Q-
I definately get a little tweaked before appointments. Usually 'cause
my I knew my other doc was going to pressure me about Lupron and I so
desperately don't want to take it. This time I think I am anxious b/c
this guy is new and I am hoping he is going to be good. I want to have
a list of all the meds I've learned about, including this one, and
hopefully get some honest answers about what will be best for me. I
sure appreciate everyon'es help!
