Wow Michele, your new doc sounds great. Really caring. It is scary how badly you have been cared for the last few years. It must feel scary but empowering to know what is causing all the pain and that it's not in your head etc and that together with her that you can take steps to get yourself better.
Also, it was good to get her opinion on the mc's and what caused them, and for her to tell you her honest prognosis on that instead of you wondering and waiting.
I'm really happy that you finally are getting some good medical care and while the news isn't pretty at least you have someone now who knows how to treat you, relieve your pain and get you better.
