I can understand not wanting to disclose to the world but I'm very much like @romla although I chose a slightly different method. I just wanted to shut myself away when I was diagnosed so I asked close friends and family to spread the word and asked for privacy. Then did the blog and sent the address out with help from those friends. I just don't have the energy or interest in juggling secrets. If anyone has an issue with my disease that is their problem - I can't deal with it. The only concession I make is head covering when I'm out of the house and a prosthesis "in public" - that is more about being sensitive to my immediate family than me caring. But that's me - everyone is entitled to their privacy.
