I sometimes feel this way. Sometimes I feel as though people are afraid they may catch something from me. I also think that sometimes people just don't knw what to say to me and it makes them uncomfortable. I tell ya in my house we laugh, we cry, we make lots of sick cancer jokes that people would be appalled at, but it keeps us going. I think if our friends and relatives could be this way it would be easier for them to be with us. It's a damn shame that we not only have to go through the physical aspects of this disease, but also the psychological and the emotional turmoil it reeks on our relationships.
