It’s hard taking care of someone battling cancer. It’s hard to watch your loved one die. 😞.
My husband transitioned on January 12, 2012. He had battled heart disease, then came the diagnosis of brain cancer. My heart stopped at that moment.
🤯
I wasn’t listening. I couldn’t understand the doctor’s words. When the fog cleared, I slowly began to process this devastating news.
My husband and I decided to have surgery and radiation. He was adamant that he didn’t want chemo.
The surgery removed as much as possible of the tumor. The radiation shrank the tumor. We were on the road to recovery.
We knew this monster in his head was still waiting to attack again. We had 2 years together after diagnosis. I say we because any cancer diagnosis changes the whole family. Watching the decline and rejoicing at the tiniest bit of good news. Something, anything to hold onto Hope.
Hope lets us enjoy the things we like.
We played dominoes, went for ice cream, and celebrated holidays with family and friends.
Hope lets us laugh and love and live together.
Breast Cancer Awareness is not just a slogan.
There are lives behind the words.
There are survivors and families…. standing strong, arm in arm, sharing their victories and heartaches.
That Hope we hold onto so tightly brings us victory and a reason to celebrate and be thankful.
Remember, you can always call your sister! 🖤
