It's traumatic enough for a woman to be faced with any cancer affecting any part of her body that represents her womanhood, let alone have to endure the strain it can place upon her relationship with her partner and family. I'm sure there are men who leave their sick wives for less than honorable reasons. Then again, there are wives who encourage their husbands to leave them because they want them to go on with their lives. Either way, isn't there enough to deal with?
I'm in training, and training others, for the (Susan G.) Komen 3-Day 60-mile walk (DFW, 11/07-09). One of the women who have been training with me is a delightful, spunky 10-year survivor. I'm in awe of the women who are involved with the organization and the event, and it's encouraging to hear about the men who have been strong supporters and participants, doing the walks with their wives - or in memory of them. It goes to show that there is quality life after surviving breast cancer.
