it in a unit meeting? Should I just say, "forget what other's think?"

Hello Annie,
We always enjoy your postings and everyone else's also. My opinion is that
very few people,including family members,friends and work associates
comprehend what you are going through and maybe never will understand.Bringing
it up in a "unit meeting at work"may be worth a try.I've stopped worrying
about what other people think,because even after my explaining about looking
ok but not feeling good,it was as if it went in one ear and out their other.
The list members know and care about what you are going through.
Congratulations on your leather jacket purchase.For awhile,I thought Bob Cook
was the only Texan with one. :-)
Respectfully yours,
Phil
