It's one of the most difficult things to go through together....but....to do it "together" is way better than having to go it alone! And they have made such huge strides in curing cancer!
My husband and I have a couple that are very dear friends...and he went through testicular cancer about twelve years ago...had a massive tumor that had spread into other parts of the abdomen. They got it all cleaned out, and after the rounds of treatments, he was clean and fully recovered and is cancer free to this day.
And while it wasn't the same type, my hubby also had cancer and we went through his surgeries and treatments together. There were scary moments...and horribly tedious moments...and setbacks. But we held each other up through it all....stayed positive and did our best to keep a good sense of humor. He's also fully recovered and cancer-free to this day. (Nine years now, too!) And we're so much stronger and closer as a couple.
Going through it SUCKS. But if you keep your focus on the positives instead of the negatives, you'll both get through it faster than you'd imagine and come out the other side strong and healthy.
