I don't really know if I should be responding to this... for two reasons.
First of all, I'm pretty early in the process. Second of all, I'm telling absolutely EVERYONE. Mainly through a blog that's linked into my facebook account. It's amazing the positive responses I've gotten. Actually, the only negative responses I've gotten have been that of concern, and once I've talked to them about it they've changed their tone. And honestly, it's only been 2 or 3 people out of HUNDREDS.
But my parents are going to all the doctors appointments with me (I'm 25 yo)... and I can't imagine doing this without all the support.
Just my experiences, I don't mean to change anybody else's! Good luck to everyone!!!
