Hi, I don't have any medical answers for you. I just thought I would tell you from my perspective that I find it difficult to deal with my families concern for my health. Consequently I tend not to talk about it or even to tell them when I'm not feeling so well. Dealing with the concern of my family and friends is, in a way, more difficult than dealing with a chronic illness. Call me a coward, but I too, minimise my illness both to myself and my family, but it's my way of being able to deal with it. Please, tread carefully and whilst arming yourself with knowledge is a very good idea, understand that your mother might be dealing with this the only way she can. It is always worse for the people who are helpless bystanders, than to the person who has the illness. Your mother obviously understands this and wants to stop you from worrying, she just doesn't know she might be adding to your worry. I wish you the best. It can be a very difficult time for every body. Chirley
