[QUOTE="Cryssi_Rawr, post: 1490456, member: 410587"] Hey everyone- thanks again for the warm greeting the other day. Made me smile! This topic has been trotting in my mind for the past 2-3 weeks, as I seem to pass periods of obsession about learning more about diabetes. With knowledge, comes worry. Am I truly just T2? Will I get complications? How will this affect me? Will there ever be a "cure"? etc, etc. There aren't many people that I am close to that I can discuss certain topics with. My fiancé, bless him, does listen and discuss when he can. But I don't want to overload him with information, either. Today, I've been binge reading on pancreatic cancer. It's scary- the survival rate is so small, there's not much resources out there for detection and treatment varies greatly on detection. There's apparently not enough funding to do more research on it. I guess that I'm facing my own mortality, and it's terrifying at times. I keep trying to tell myself that I've got the chance to have caught it young enough to make significant changes to my life, and live as long as possible... But sometimes, even that doesn't help. How about you all? How has this journey been treating you, anything on your brain you'd like to dump out? [/QUOTE]
