The purpose of this blog
My wife is 33. She has breast cancer.
I set up this blog:
1) as an outlet for myself to get my feelings out. As most people who know me, know that I am not much of a conversationalist, let alone talking about my feelings. I thought this would be a good way to do so. I am in no means a writer and that fact will probably show throughout this blog.
2) for family and friends to stay up to date on what is happening with the situation we are in without having to be afraid to ask all the time. Also so I don't have to explain the situation repeatedly as I found out I would have to do once the news was broke to us. Although maybe that helped as each time I had to tell it, it did get a littel easier but the knot in my stomach came back every time I had to do so.
3) On the chance that maybe there is another husband going through this or will be going through this in the future and can look at my posts and know that they aren't the only one out there. Hopefully I will be adding resources I find for others to reference as well.
At this point I am not telling my wife about this as I am not really sure what it will entail and there may be some things I would like to keep to myself. The irony of that is that I am posting this to the whole world.
In the end, this blog's name will change to My Wife Beat Breast Cancer.
