yes we are here for you and will be your support. Some of your close family could be afraid for you, but your friends well don't know what to think about them. You will know who your true friends are if they stick by you through this. I hope there is a local support group you can go to and meet people in person going through this too.

You will always get support and answers here.

You are doing this for you.

Welcome and wishing your the very best.

Thank you for your warmest though i love this site God Bless you all
