I also had good support but I realised pretty early on that people don't really understand what it's like, then came the realisation that my expectation that they would understand was unrealistic. My family and friends felt sorry for me which was nice but not helpful. My medical team were helpful but that was the professional side of things. This network was great because everybody has been there, done that. Every time I get an ache or a pain now (I get a few being on Arimidex) I start to think what now? I hope your shoulder problems eases soon, keep in touch,
