Hi Danielle,
I just read your post and I feel your pain.
Upon diagnosis, my first thoughts were for my kids and family also. Be assured that your beautiful spirit and caring nature will bring them through this journey with you safely.
I found that being open and telling family and friends about how you are feeling helps everyone. Letting people into your life and not closing them out has given me an inordinate amount of inner peace. My circle of supporters has increased, despite my husband deciding to leave. I am sure your man has much greater internal fortitude and it sounds as if your relationship is strong.
Do take time out for yourself though. Rest up when you need it and be kind to yourself.
Beautiful lady, you will come through this.
Best wishes,
Sonia
