Thank you for sharing your story and I am sorry to hear about your tumors.
My first thought from reading your story is that you’re a strong woman and didn’t want to burden your husband with your issues. Since he became so interested in helping you with treatments (driving 40 miles) should tell you that the man cares for you very much and only wants to see you get better.
I think understanding and opening up to him will help you and also make him feel more involved in your recovery. Any health issue causes a lot of stress in the person suffering and I think if you opened up more to him and let him help you (or have him feel like he is by being involved) may help your relationship as well as you mentally. It is ok to feel vulnerable. You don’t have to go through this yourself.
We, at EmpowHer, are also here for you if you want to share your feelings and we can certainly lend a helping ear. Can you do me a favor and keep us updated on your condition? I would love to hear more about the outcome of your story.
