Thank you all for the advice and kind words. Yes, Shelley, I do have the emotional part, exactly like you do -- when someone says nice things to me, especially when it's someone dear to me, I start crying. In fact when we first got the diagnosis, I e-mailed my boss and close co-workers to tell them because I could not talk about it without crying. I specifically told them in the email "I know you care. But please don't come and talk to me about it right now." Eight weeks later, I can now talk about it without tears. But I still have my moments. I will say many of those tearful moments now are tears of joy because so many little prayers have been answered. We get happy and are thankful for little things every day. This board being one of them!
