Hi Donna

All the things everyone has said but I would just like to pick up on comment you made that your family might be tired of it.

No, your family will be worried for you too and probably not saying anything because they don't want you to worry any more than you already are.

I still don't know whether or not to address some of Alex's issues because I don't want to bring it up if he hasn't thought of it and make his burden any heavier. And he doesn't want to voice his fears either for exactly the same reason. Makes for some awkward moments.

There are two sorts of people, ones that want to know and support and those that would rather wait until a diagnosis is made. What type are your family? If you were my family, I would want you to share your fears so that I could support you - maybe your family is the same?
