    Stephanie,
    We totally understand your anger, we've all been there, feel free to vent anytime. It is tough in the beginning. You and your husband will have to make some difficult decisions regarding his treatment and doctors, but it gets better from there.
    When I was first diagnosed, I was really angry too. And after reading all the scary things on the internet, I thought I was going to die before my time. But talking to everyone on this site and reading their experiences helped me realize that with the proper treatment, I could be myself again, and everything would go back to normal...or pretty darn close to normal
    I had pretty bad sinus involvement before and when I was diagnosed. Within a couple weeks of treatment, the inflammation in my nose went away and I've been able to breathe through my nose ever since.
    Keep doing what you're doing, your husband is lucky to have an advocate like you on his side. My husband was very involved in getting me the proper care I needed after diagnosis, like you are doing, and I couldn't have done it without him. I wanted to curl up into a ball and cry when I got the news, but he made me be strong and deal with everything...it helped tremendously.
    Best of luck.
    Nicole

    It was very clear!

    I had to laugh at the places where it's sold. I don't think a store named Pharmaprix would stay in business in the US. ROTFL

    How long did it take to get in with a specialist? I have called Duke and Chapel Hill (the ENT said they would do the referral) And the earliest he can get in is September?!?

    Once they review your husband's records at JHU they will set up the first appt. You may have to wait about 6 weeks for it. However, since he is not getting any treatment they may expedite it.

    I can just imagine holistic doctors and practitioners across the US bursting into laughter upon hearing the name of that chain. It's what they're all thinking! Oh man, I can't stop laughing.

    Alright, before someone else comes around and throws down a Putin on us, I'll self-monitor.

    No need for you to blush, Daggar! I was the one who brought it up and it's good to have some laughs. I just didn't want to keep going because Stephanie needs our help. It was fun giggling with you!
