Kathy,
I understand how people feel in trying to protect "us". I think that my note
came out badly, not my intention. I just wanted to say talk to us like you
always did. I was very intimidated by friends with a death sentence and was
so afraid that I would say the wrong thing. I'm certain that I did say the
wrong thing to many of them. When I was first dx, I didn't want to hear the
C word spoken, now I want to know all I can about this d---- disease.
Everyone is different, so i can only speak for myself. But I feel
uncomfortable when people are on edge about what they say. And I know I did
it also.
Thanks for your reply, I realized I had made the wrong impression when I
reread it on e-mail. Anything anyone does is appreciated. The Road to Hell
is paved with good intentions and mine is paved well.
