Not sure if this is bad form to respond to my own comment here. But my comments here have probably been massively depressing. I have a positive one.

There was a radiation tech, a older gentleman. He noticed that my belt slowly was failing. So one day he told me to give him my belt while I was in the machine. He kept a leather punch in the booth and put in more holes in my belt while I was getting radiated.

It is the small things.

Hey John. I know how you feel a bit. Dont worry about people thinking its depressing. It's your struggle and your story and you can tell it how ever you want. I remember tiny things like being able to tell my story helped me when I was diagnosed with a brain tumor.

People may not understand what milk has to really do with your situation but it is those tiny things that make the most profound impacts I'd say. I still look at the tiny needle scars and that reminds me more than the actual scar on my head.

So feel free man. I found being able to talk about it openly helped me deal with it A LOT MORE than anything else.
