"I have always found it important to understand things, especially if they are happening to me. I mean if I had cancer I am sure I would want to know the basic science of what was happening to my body. I have just been learning it now and these are the things that have made it important to me on a more emotional level:"
That is how I am too - That is what I was trying to say in my post above. I went to the Creighton Medical School library in Omaha and poured over scholastic journals to really understand.
It helped and I am glad it made a difference for you sfgirl!
