Support

Throughout, I had relatives and friends who were and still are so concerned about me and gave me a lot of support in all areas. I am so touched by their generosity.

It is never easy to take this fight alone. My group of support is always there when I needed someone to talk to, like the times when I was so confused, or when the progress was not as expected that I felt down.

There are also a lot of formal support groups around, like
The Breast Cancer Foundation

There are also some other smaller informal groups.

One of the reasons I am sharing my experiences on this blog is that I hope that the information here may come in useful, that is, I hope people can avoid the mistakes I made, or know what to expect in certain situations.
