I hope the above information will help you through this time. Also, I 
strongly encourage you to talk to your physician about your feelings 
and concerns as he/she should be able to refer you to a local group. 
Doctors usually seem rushed (here in the US) but if you tell your 
doctors about your feelings, I'm pretty sure he'll lend a sympathetic 
ear.

Milz.
