Thank you for posting this Paula! I think it is beautifully written and so true. Before I was diagnosed I felt sympathy toward others going through this and would pray for them but no one can truly understand what it feels like when you are the one living it. I have had a friend who wasn't feeling well tell me she shouldn't even complain to me because I am dealing with much worse. I told her of course she can talk to me about anything bothering her, I don't want people I love to treat me differently because of this. I think though that if things were reversed I probably would feel same way that she is. I think Lindsay really expressed a lot of what I have been feeling. Just wanted to say I appreciated you posting this and also thanks to everyone on this forum, it has helped me emotionally and also helped to educate me on HER2
