I have found the same thing all through treatment too. Someone said on this network that you will never feel so loved as you do while going through this. I have certainly found that to be the case.
However it is not only family and friends, as you are noticing, but complete strangers that are caring and thoughtful. I am also lucky to live in a small estate that has the most amazing community feeling. I have felt the support of neighbours who previously had just exchanged the usual neighbourly hellos. I have had numerous medical staff, from the radiologist who handed me my scans, my chemo nurse and radiation staff who have treated me as so much more than just another patient.
I have rarely felt 'alone' in this journey. Glad you are feeling the same. Best of luck with your surgery. Deanne xxx
