Just my opinion - but this is your fight not theirs. It is your goal to live and your pain or success to own. Again - I could be way off base, but if you are not comfortable - why say anything. Neither confirm nor deny - just say "Thank you, I may have" and go one. It sounds like you feel you are already letting them down by lying and that can be a chain of guilt that drags down your success. Sorry for the pop psychology but your family and friends can be a big asset and you may be shutting them out AND hurting yourself in the process. Regardless - best of luck in your fight! Keep up the focus on your goals and not what others think (I guess that includes me) and I am sure you will be successful. Wow - that is a heck of a lot of pressure to shoulder!
