How do you cope with breast cancer diagnosis and relationship betrayal?

Question

Hello, blessings to you all!

I’m Ramiah but everyone calls me Mya for short.
Nice to meet you all!

I was in a bad wreck on the 5th of November, biopsy on the 6th, and I was diagnosed on the 13th of November with having cancer in my right breast after getting a clean bill in my earlier screening in February 14th 2025. Not to mention, finding out that the woman I loved for the last 5 years and the day of the wreck, was cheating on me the whole time, while keeping me around for financial reasons and to assist in raising her/our kids.

I’m now living with a friend and her kids, dealing with all of this..

Crying to hold on to my faith in God alone the way cause He’s been by my side thus far…

Amen

Hello Mya, what an incredibly difficult time with both a new cancer diagnosis and discovering betrayal in a long-term relationship - facing either challenge alone would be overwhelming, let alone both together. Many in this community understand how traumatic it can be when life changes so suddenly, and finding safe housing while processing these major upheavals shows real strength. Leaning on faith, trusted friends, and connecting with others who've walked similar paths can provide comfort during this period of grief and medical decisions.
