We know that when someone is diagnosed with cancer, the disease doesn’t only affect them, but can have a major effect on their loved ones as well — because during tough times, we all need a support system.
Tracy White is a two-time cervical cancer survivor — and during her interview with SurvivorNet, she took the time to pay tribute to all of the people who helped her get through her diagnosis, treatment, and subsequent recurrence. And there were certainly a lot of names to names when it came to her support system. Like so many survivors, Tracy said that having that support from loved ones made a world of difference and really helped her heal.

Another best friend who is locally here in New Jersey, she would also come and take care of me. She would entertain my son when we needed a rest.” Tracy said that aside from her awesome friends, she also had prayer groups that she was a part of all over the world, parents at her son’s school would help her out with meals, and would even watch him on days when Tracy had to go to chemotherapy. “I couldn’t have done it without all of them,” Tracy said.
