Looks like I'll be the first to welcome you! Am glad you have found CT helpful so far & that you are looking for support & to learn about your dx. It's good that you created a signature. So many new members don't & it really is helpful for others in answering questions to have a "snapshot" of your history.

Best Wishes

Welcome. I joined this site late in my journey. I finished treatment 4/16 and didn't join until this past August. I still have found it to be so helpful. Even though I finished treatment, I still have many questions about issues I experience, and emotions I feel. I too have found everyone to be so helpful, inspirational, informative and supportive. Again, welcome.
