Not having anyone who understands what you're going though can make it that much harder.
There's a website to make sure you don't go through it alone. Today we talked to Vicki Tashman. She's a breast cancer survivor, and the founder of that amazing website that links women affected by breast cancer with one another.

San Francisco to Ban Toys in Unhealthy Kids Meals
San Francisco city officials are toying with popular children’s meals. The city’s Board of Supervisors passed a law cracking down on fast food chains that give away free toys with unhealthy meals for children, like the Mcdonald’s “Happy Meal.” The law would require kid’s meals to meet certain nutritional standards before they could be sold with toys. Officials say the law promotes healthy eating habits and combats childhood obesity.
But not everyone agrees. McDonald’s, the National Restaurant Association, and many franchise owners are unhappy with the ordinance. McDonald’s says getting a toy with a kid’s meal is part of the family experience when visiting the restaurant, and they’re just giving the customer what they want.
We want to know what you think... will taking the toy out of kid’s meals help combat obesity, or should restaurants be able to include them in meals? Leave your comments and Kyra Phillips will read some of your responses in the 10am hour of CNN Newsroom.
