I was diagnosed in January of this year, but my diagnosis was not just mine. It hit both my wife and me equally hard. Sometimes my wife’s struggles seem more difficult than mine. As my caregiver she gives her all to help me through my physical and emotional challenges. I am also her caregiver in that she needs my help with her very real struggles. It is a two way street. Love is getting us through.

I went through the same thing. During my cancer treatment, my wife was having all sort of hip trouble. Once I was out of the hospital and on chemo, she had to have BOTH hips replaced. I was her caregiver while wearing an infusion pump. It kept my mind off my situation.
No one goes through cancer alone is not just a slogan, it is the reality. Neither mine or my wife’s family were their to help or support us, but friends and neighbors all stepped up. Shakespeare once wrote “That which does not kill us makes us stronger” couldn’t have been more true of cancer survivors as We must be stronger to help those around us who struggle even though we are facing down the barrel of death.
