I read your message and I do understand exactly how you are feeling. this disease is relentless. However, you can't quit now. I am a mom of 2 boys and I have been fighting this disease since 1996. It began with ovarian. I then presented with occular melenoma and lost my left eye and now it has shown up in my brain.(astrocytoma stage 3) Christmas time I found out it has spread to brain stem. I refuse to give up. I have my days when I just don't want to get out of bed, but I do and thats what you need to do. I also feel that people just don't know how to act around us. I do have a big family and my sisters and my friends act distant towards me. I think they are just afraid. Please keep up the fight
