Hon, it's happening to you too, so don't feel so bad about the opening comment. Mothers are tied by the heart to their kids, and it's natural for you to feel the pain ans fear your child suffers. It is also natural for you to want to help fix it, no matter *how* independent you raised her to be. Your daughter needs you, no questions about it. No matter how old we get, when we're afraid, love from a Mother can still help.

As to the problem; I say go guns a-blazing and do *everything* within your grasp. A 2nd or 3rd opinion is not outside of the normal protocol in medicine, *especially* considering the severity of the symptoms. However, as the Mother of a grown child, all you can do is strongly suggest a course of action, let her choose, and then be there for her emotionally.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you...let us know how things go.
