I am so pleased you were able to do that. I am sure it takes a whole lot of courage. My brother never told his docs and he died 20 years ago of AIDS. He did not know it until he flew up to me when he was sick, very sick. At that time he might have been able to prolong his life but he was too afraid.

I totally understand how hard that must be. I have worked on these issues since I lost my brother and am always still surprised to know people who will not speak of it with anyone but a safe friend. It takes a lot of courage, especially depending on where you live. Step one in saving your life and being a healthy human is to at least tell your physician. That should be a safe place.

Posts like these always make me smile. HUGS to you.
