I too find this discussion very helpful and interesting. I have not told many people. I know that it's human nature that people will look at me or even treat me differently. I do a lot right now to take care of my elderly mother and some other family members so I'm not saying anything for now. Fortunately, I am very early stage, and symptoms are mild right now. And i still consider me to be young only early 50's. Prayers for all of you and yes let's get thick skin
