I agree Pat, I do not understand why friends and family abandon others when they develop medical problems. Fear I suppose. I have been very fortunate to have not lost very many people closest to me during my illness. A couple people made themselves scarce, but not many. Most people rallied around me and checked in on me often and that was nice. Sometimes I feel like that is a big part of why I enjoy doing this; being supportive of others when they are going through their medical crisis, is because so many people "do" lose those closest to them during tough times, and at least I can offer some sort of support and let them know that even though I don't "know" them, I am hear to listen and offer support.
