Woman are just the opposite, even if a women was very unhappy during the marriage and ready to divorce, she is more likely to stay with her husband. Something about a cancer diagnosis scares a man, they don't like to be in charge of their own destiny and it's easier to say I don't love this person, then face the prospect of losing them through cancer. Anyways, I'm sending prayers, and I hope God gives you strength to fight this battle. Losing your hair must be awful, have you started to look for wigs yet? |
If I have to be honest, his reasoning is more about the depression and the "lack of will to live". I essentially walked out of the Drs office, told my family I wasn't doing anymore radiation, chemo or taking anymore meds. He told me he would rather leave and deal with the heartbreak of the divorce than to watch me give up and slowly kill myself. I know that doesnt excuse what he did, and I am not making excuses for him, but I was being stupid. Obviously I did finish radiation and started chemo. And I'm back on all my meds.
Yes, my daughter and I went Saturday and looked at wigs.
