Hi Susan You are not being sensitive at all. I wish I had a dollar for every time my partner at the time said I could get run over crossing the street. Even my family stayed away and it have been difficult as I had an 18 month old boy to take care of when I was dx in 1998. This group in the all these years even though I don't regularly email has been a life saver. Take Care Shannon
