I decide that I will tell my nearest and dearest by 'phone. The reaction, as you will imagine, is generally shock. I do my best to reassure everyone that I feel fine and that the prognosis is good.
I decide that I will tell everyone else by email. The response is again shock but I also get 'phone calls from people I haven't heard from in ages. Clearly the "I really must 'phone such and such" which we all do and never get around to is spurred into action with the arrival of my email.
I am genuinely touched by all the good will, kind messages and offers of help I receive. I also feel a total fraud as I have absolutely no symptoms whatsoever.
