@travelgirl Yes, starting new discussions are certainly appropriate for Mentors. I'm sure that Colleen will cover this in our teleconference today. I am sorry to hear of your multiple diagnoses that cause you concern. Most of us Mentors are in the same boat. I sometimes feel like a "professional patient" because I'm getting really good at talking to doctors and investigating whenever I am faced with a new diagnosis. Unfortunately, just like you, I can also set myself into panic-mode. My fellow mentors have kindly helped me through those times as well.
