There is a group of people in our society who live “in the shadows,” hiding their diagnosis. They are rarely written about and they avoid open interviews. Often, even their relatives and loved ones struggle to accept them. How these individuals live, what they feel, and the challenges they face often remain hidden behind a veil of silence.
