This goes for how they respond to treatment, medications, etc. Knowing everyone is different means some have it easy while others struggle.
Learn from what you read here and arm yourself with knowledge. When its over, come back and help others. By giving back you will find you concentrate on your own shortcomings alot less. It will help you feel productive.
Best wishes with your treatments.
