This is a super question.

I have had incredible support. My greatest support has been God & my husband. Without them I could not have made it. My church family and other family have been there all the way. I have a friend who I teach school with who was dx. about a month after me. We have been support for each other. We have done Herceptin together for about 8 months. This has helped a lot (we drive about 45 mins for treatment). My principal and other teachers and staff I work with have been great. They in fact had a surprise luncheon one day to honor my friend & me. They all had pink ribbons on. This meant an awful lot. There have been a lot of friends there for me also. This board has been great, but I didn't find it until after all of my chemo, and I was doing just Herceptin. I have learned a lot from all of you and that has helped me be support for others going through this dreadful disease. Thanks to all of you that so openly share.
