Did you start taking the Big 3 before you went to NJH or waited until you saw them to find out their treatment plan? I really appreciate your experience.

I had been advised to do 'watchful waiting' by 3 different community doctors, including 2 at Mayo. Their rationale was that 'the treatment was worst than the disease'. Therefore, I had not taken any meds prior to my NJH visit. During my 2nd meeting with my NJH doctor, I was told that I should start meds ASAP, even though I was still asymptomatic.
