Hello everyone, I was discharged on yesterday after having surgery for triple negative breast cancer. My husband and children have been nothing but supportive, however on yesterday my husband received the news that he has Leukemia. We are 76 and 72 , both fighting cancer. I asked God to heal us and bless us as we continue on this journey called life. May you receive healing as well

Facing cancer as a couple brings unique challenges, but having each other's love and support during treatment can be a source of tremendous strength. Many couples in this community have found that open communication with healthcare teams, leaning on family support, and taking care of each other's emotional needs helps them navigate this difficult journey together. The community here understands these struggles and is here to offer encouragement and practical advice as both of you move forward with your treatments.

Thanks Allison, I know he’s always in my corner. If he calls me home today, I have lived a full and wonderful life, although I’d love to see my grandchildren married and more great grands, I know he’s in charge today, tomorrow and always. Bless you
