3 Words

The most gut-wrenching words I have ever heard were spoken to me in 2013 and then again to my husband in 2019: "You Have Cancer." Both times, our lives were just clicking along uneventfully, when out of the blue, some flu-like symptoms started. Then, a few days later we found ourselves in a cold and dreary patient room while the doctor sat down in front of us with sad eyes and quietly said those dreaded words. I am pretty sure they were prefaced with, "I am sorry to share this news…," but all I can remember is the echoing of those 3 Words that forever changed me. In this book, I will share what it was like hearing those words and how my husband and I processed it, managed it, and did everything we could to support each other. I will talk about how I truly believe I got cancer six years before my husband to better prepare me to cope with and care for him during the last year of his life.
