I think you are so right, it does seem as if some of us on here know each other and yet we don't know people from Adam (or Eve
)My approach is smile and some will smile with you, cry and most will not know what to do or say.
My case may be terminal but there are a lot of people out there who are suffering a lot more than I.
I consider that I have got off lightly compared to many others during the chemo treatment.
If I can help them smile and inspire them to fight their battle then my job will have been done.
