Supportive Husbands/Partners!

I am sure there are many women with great stories of support and I am one of them. When I was far enough along in my tests that I was pretty sure I knew what was coming, I sat my husband down and told him I thought my biopsy would reveal cancer and we were going to stay calm and fight this. From that point forward, he was there with me every step of the way. I had 2 separate rounds of chemo totaling 18, a mastectomy, a punctured lung, a seroma and numerous medical appointments. He would never allow me to do any of it alone. He was there every minute. I could get teary just thinking about how fortunate I am. While I am happy to share my good fortune in having my husband, there are men who care just as much, but their own make up does not allow them to handle this as well. How ever you do it, get through it together.

I'm so happy to hear your story; what a long, hard road you have travelled together! Thanks for sharing. You are absolutely correct, some people do care just as much, but can't/don't know how to help. I don't want to make anyone feel bad if their partner isn't quite as supportive, but I do love to hear any feel-good stories 🙂
