I had neighbors that I had never met who noticed that my mother was putting my children on the bus, they stopped her to ask about it and upon hearing about my diagonises they brought my family dinners, food, and even Christmas. Everyone at work was really supportive they had a small auction and raised $500.00 for my family at Christmas time (with 4 kids it was a huge relief). My sister was a little leary of coming to the hospital to see me (because she thought that I was going to die, and she was scared) but she came around. All in all I had a bigger support system than I ever knew I had. I hope everything goes well with your book, and hope you start feeling better soon.
