A Journey with My Husband

Well done.  I have been meaning to contact you re your interview on our Sunday show last Sunday - and then you send this speech through.  It is so true what you said and I will print it off and leave a copy by my husband's bedside.  He is a stubborn "bugger" but when I am not looking he will read it. (I did the same with - I think it is Scott's speech that he posted this week)  Like your husband - and I'm sure there are lots more - my husband took on the "breadwinner" role.  Mind you he has been a marvellous carer - doing what he thought to be the "right" things.  "Here eat this, you need to have good food in you".  To be perfectly honest with you from my perspective he has hated every minute of my BC journey.  It is just so hard for him to watch me not be the full me whilst I am on treatment.   I'm sure this is the same for others.  It has exhausted him and made him even more withdrawn.  So thank you and (Scott) for putting your speeches out there so I can "show" my husband that he is not alone in his way of coping.  I love him to bits and wish I could take away his "worry of losing me" and his constant need to "keep the coffers coming in".  XLeonie
