Welcome @soccermum1 You're right - they don't get it and you have to hope that they never will. It might be a good idea if you can access some counselling if you're feeling very down. The first few weeks after diagnosis are a real head-trip so don't think that you're going crazy - I swung from numbness to terror to absolute despair and back again during that time. You may want to investigate whether there are any face-to-face support groups close to you although I do realise that you're not at home at the moment so any connections will be short-lived. I suspect that is contributing to your feeling of isolation as well although the diagnosis is isolating enough without that.
