My apologies, please forgive me.

I am in the US, in PA. I started out with the local medical institution and my second opinion was through Hershey (whom I am now working with).
They finally scheduled me for January 7th. Which seems like years and years from now. I'm trying to calm myself down but that seems like such a long wait. Is that normal? Should I take solace in the fact that the doc said I could wait that long?
We discussed EMR vs. ESD. Basically said that depending on what happens when they are in there, that either option may end up happening. I have seen that article and it gives me great hope. I am just struggling with waiting right now. As well as holding it together for my daughter. I feel like I am a super disassociated vessel of a human being around her. Totally not fair to her.
