I'm really early in my diagnosis, and everyone says that those have the best chance (diagnosed 10/18/08). But what does that really mean? This is so very disillusioning to me-maybe made worse from the holidays, maybe not. Maybe I'm just depressed more than previously. I am just so deeply unhappy and angry. Anyone actually know what the chances are?
