As my wife endures a second breast cancer diagnosis and treatment plan, the emotions surrounding a husband’s inability to actually fix this life threatening problem become overwhelming. This is what husbands and life partners are supposed to do; fix things. What does a life partner do when watching their mate struggle with this disease?

Rather than make this a short blog, I’ve started to document the process in a multi chapter story, in order to tell the whole story. See the chapters on our main page link at the top or here: https://thefamilywoodworker.com/the-breast-cancer-journey/

I try to be as factual as possible, and hopefully offer a few insights on how best to support your mate during this difficult time in her life.
