Look I'm sure your husband must have some positive qualities or you wouldn't have married him but I gotta say he sounds like a total jerk. Nobody wants to go through surgery and chemo and radiation but it's what we have to do to survive this wretched disease. Your husband should be supporting you in that. That is the normal thing to do.
It's a hard enough thing to get through even with a supportive husband. I can't believe he would discourage you from having treatment and punish you with his coldness for doing the only sensible thing. Healthy eating and exercise can't cure cancer! (I want to swear but I will control myself.) It might help minimise the risk of it coming back but once cancer is there it needs to be hit with the big guns. You have done the right thing Tannie.
As for your marriage, only you can know whether it's worth salvaging. As Robyn has suggested, maybe some counselling might help. Perhaps a counsellor could help him see what a @#$% he has been. Either way you should put yourself first. You deserve better than this. I too hope you have some good friends and supportive family to help you through this difficult time. The very best of luck to you Tannie. Janet.
