If I was home I had to lie on my bed and roll from side to side. Or if that didn't help, I would have to take Moltrin. If I…

Reason for stating this is how hard it is for me to reach out and share. I have not even told my friends. I don't want to be "the one with cancer". I know I will change in their eyes. I feel…
