When Linda Saffle can't find the words to express her gratitude, she gives out hugs. In recent months, Saffle has embraced co-workers, parents and friends. Her recovery from breast cancer has been a communal effort, one that she could've never done alone, Saffle says. Saffle's family made sure she never had to go alone to a doctor's appointment or chemotherapy. Her co-workers donated vacation time, which allowed Saffle to heal without worrying about how to pay the bills.
