I know what you're saying MD but you have to allow people to support you. They feel pain because they care about you and really at the end of the day, I think we're put on the planet to care and look after other people. That means allowing others to care about us as well as us caring about them. And when this is all over the fact that they've shared difficult times with you will mean they can share in your euphoria when you get a clean bill of health.

I know it's hard not to want to protect everyone else but ... sometimes you just can't.

BTW, I know you know all this. I think we all need a little reminder now and again though.
