Re: Advice about going to the CEC in Atlanta?

I am trying to go there myself, but my insurance has not approved me
going there. To me it is worth the time and money, although I dont
think I can afford it with no help from my insurance. I live in
Virginia and need to get there pretty soon. I have a 5cm mass on my
right ovary causing severe pain, my doctor refereed me there and the CEC
will schedule me as soon as I get approval.
