I read somewhere that breast cancer had increased tremendously, but they didn't say why. In my eyes most women are heroic fighters, but many times their mates fail them.
The reason why we came to live here was at the repeated request of a friend that had aggressive Leukemia and can you believe that her husband also divorced her. She was a hero and after the first chemo treatment participated in the Tour of Light. A cycle ride of over 2000 kilometers between two major cities here, stopping off at every hospital in the small towns in between to visit the cancer patients.

All strength to your friend and she is lucky to have you around my friend.
Blessings!

That is so unfortunate when that happens. Your friend sounds like an amazing woman, as well. As a nice side not to this particular story, this friend of mine shared that her husband sat in the hospital throughout her entire first six hour surgery. A friend of theirs had also gone through treatment a few years back, so knowing how it was to sit waiting for your wife to go through that, this other woman's husband came and sat with him while he waited! So awesome to hear of such support for the supporter. 💚

A brilliant man my friend.
And here's the other side of my story.
In a rare occasion our friend's husband was the first to get Leukemia. He went with her by his side through the entire chemotherapy treatment, then he had a stroke due to the wrong medicine and he also had a stem cell transplant with her constantly at his side. We visited many times and we heard her cries from the toilet after she carried him there.
Well, he recuperated and they got divorced during her treatment.
What a very sad story.

Makes me think of one of my father's phrases he would share in this kind of situation: "I'll never wish ill for someone, only that they get back what they put out in this world."
