*****RESERVED FOR FUTURE INFORMATION*****
An Idea of what to Expect Here Soon:
Cancer does not just take it's toll on your mind, body and spirit. It does not just take it's toll on your finances and quality of life. Cancer takes a HUGE toll on your marriage / relationship. Quoted from a link that I will add asap:
"The study confirmed earlier research that put the overall divorce or separation rate among cancer patients at 11.6 percent, similar to the population as a whole. However, researchers were surprised by the difference in separation and divorce rates by gender. The rate when the woman was the patient was 20.8 percent compared to 2.9 percent when the man was the patient."
There are many places that show studies and similar statistics. We personally have spoken with several women who were divorced / separated during this most trying time (to say the least).
In this area of the Blog, Jon and I will speak candidly about what kept us not just together...but what made us even stronger. We do not feel that we are some Gurus or professionals in the field of Love...in fact it has been our weaknesses, mistakes and lessons that have helped so much (besides all of the 'good' and necessary things a relationship must have).
Many couples deal with Cancer...Jon and I dealt with Cancer as well as a side helping of hell that no one we have met can wrap their heads around. So this is where you will find OUR story. This is where we will share what worked for US. We are not therapists or specialists in this field, but we believe we have some pretty good words of wisdom that we hope will help others going through this.
And for those of you who are reading to support us, we hope that you will enjoy taking a look into what we have gone through and what has worked for us throughout this battle. We truly believe, and hope with all of our hearts, that whether you are fighting Cancer or not, you will find some little bits of information that will be helpful in some way.
And finally, we will ultimately be encouraging discussion as well as answering any questions that one may have....clearly with the option of being anonymous.
