Hi Tonya,
Thank you, give your man a big kiss and hug, for you should be so proud of him being your rock. If only more men had those qualities! I am so incredibly hurt and angry by my ex's actions. Yes I do need to nurture myself but I feel that the rug has just been totally pulled out from under me. The cancer has only put a strain on my relationship from the fact that I needed his reassurances and help and it just brought things to a head much quicker. It certainly lets you know who is truly there for you and who just says the words.
Part of the issue as well is that once you have finished the Chemotherapy, some people seem to think that's it that you are instantly rejuvinated. Which is certainly not the case.
In my case the saying that whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger - is certainly true. It however also reinforces your mistrust in people, as you had to come through it with limited or without at all the support from the people who indicated that they understood you were going through a huge life changing issue.
Thanks
Veronica
