Finding Support in Unexpected Places
Sometimes, support comes from places we least expect—whether it's a casual acquaintance, an online community, or a new hobby that brings you peace.
Have you found support in an unexpected place or from an unexpected person? Share your story of how an unlikely source made a big difference in your life, and let’s celebrate the surprises that have lifted us up along the way.
I have received a lot of support and gained many friendships from the nurses, techs, docs' office staff, etc that I have met. We have talked about immediate "tests" and meds, to music, vacations and more!! Their positivity and smiles are always welcome... and needed! Something as simple as a smile is so very important, can mean so very much, and therefore simply make a person's day 😁
I also found a lot of support in a Facebook group for MPN cancers.
I dont have a story yet for I am only 4 months into Myelofibrosis
