Hello everyone,
I thought I would revive this discussion, as relationships and support are so important when going through cancer. 
Breast cancer can impact the patient mentally, emotionally and physically, but it can also impact the spouse or partner as well. The feelings experienced upon diagnosis like sadness, anger, worry; financial stress; physical and mental exhaustion; changes in roles, responsibilities and physical and emotional needs... All these things can add up and take a toll on our relationships.
Did cancer have an impact on your relationships? What did you do to cope? Do you have any advice to share to those who may be struggling with this?

Feel free to share your thoughts, experiences and advice here!
Take care,
Courtney
