Where are you jannie? There are people here from all over Europe too - I'm sure we can help you find a support group of some sort? In South Africa there is also very little support (and knowledge) about this so I know what's it's like to feel isolated and scared. TT is a great place for support though even if it is in cyberspace.
When is your surgery?
