Thanks for sharing your message. I've been trying to think of something to inspire confidence and well being.

I think self sharing is the bomb for saying that we understand and have empathy. It is a way to communicate that the op isn't alone in her struggle.

When it rains it pours. My friend once had to have some follow up pictures after a mammogram. She was scared but it all turned out alright. I so hope for this author.

I think the world of DU in general and this group in particular. Nice of you to come out of lurker status for a good cause.
