My wife was diagnosed with breast cancer four years ago, we did everything right to eliminate the cancer. The cancer spread to her liver, we did everything right to eliminate the spread of the cancer. The cancer spread to her spine, we did everything right to stop the spread of cancer. Last week she had terrable headache's and stomach ache, I admitted her to the hospital where they did a catscan and found two tumor's on her brain. We are doing the right thing to take care of this disease. I'm I the only husband that is going through this? What do I tell my nine and six year old? How do I maintain any kind of normal family activities?

You might try this site, as well: menagainstbreastcancer.org–“Caring About the Women We Love”– a “national non-profit organization to provide targeted support services to educate and empower men to be effective caregivers when breast cancer strikes a female loved one; as well as target and mobilize men to be active participants in the fight against breast cancer.” This dynamite organization was started by men, for men, and is very “male-friendly.”
Cancer is just so damned random. That's the hard part - you can do everything "right," and it comes out all wrong. Random... I hope you have friends and family to support you in this. Church? God? Whatever you have, I hope it's keeping you strong (as possible). I wish you peace- PJH

hey eric , i'm so sorry for your wife and your children and of course you . your doing everything you can and i know the feeling of not doing enough . my wife is surviving but not without complications. I have been in contact with MABC and the co-founder marc is a great guy . In my case , I have to keep reaching out , trying to talk to other men who are dealing with cancer from the loving husbands place. It can be so hard watching your beautiful wife go through this . The one thing I have to do is pray to God and realize that i'm powerless . The only thing I can do, is do the best I can . Take care of myself so I can be stronge for her and the people that need me . There is no answer to why , but sharing your story , and reaching out to people who know the feelings can help .Take it a day at a time , and love as much as you can . God bless and feel free to write if you like . Don't give up and know you were put in your wifes life because you are special . where one is weak and alone , two can be stronge and give each other strenght . danny
