A breast cancer diagnosis is a life altering event that not only affects the individual who receives it, but it also has a profound impact

I was diagnosed at the age of 28. At the time of my diagnosis, my husband and I had only been dating a little over a year. There is nothing that could have prepared us for a cancer diagnosis. We went from figuring out what the future had in store to being forced to deal with the realities of our “right now.”

When I stop to think of the bright side, I think of my husband, my co-survivor. During active treatment, I was so focused on myself that I didn’t stop to think about how afraid he must be. But I noticed what he did. He took care of me.
