Hi All, I was planning my wedding to the man of my dreams, and thank God he really IS, I didn,t think my fiancee would be able to deal with the diagnosis, BUT he was there for me all the way, he held me close when I cried that day and that nite of the diagnosis, and all after that, in fact thank God when I couldn,yt look at the empty space in the hospital when the bandages were removed my husband looked for us, and said to me and my mom,"it doesn,t look that bad" and even if it didn,t he ade me believe it wasn,t (That Bad) and when I finally looked down, I still cried, cause i had that breast for 42 yrs, but with my husband I made it . God is my Source But HE sent my husband to be THERE. I,m now 15 yrs cancer free this december, God Bless Us ALL. msphil

hello sweetie, I know we all do. we also have been through these words(you have breast cancer), I too had just me the man of my dreams after a failed first marriage, I had waited 13 yrs before, findint the ONE, so in the midst of making wedding plans i was diagnosed with ductal carcinoma, I had a total mastectomy, I didn,t want to chance them not getting all, so I opted for mastectomy, my husband agreed with my decision, he felt it was better to go that route also.I,m now 15 yrs cancer free(Praise the Lord) HE got me through. So vent, I also did, but keep HOPE and stay POSITIVE thise are the things that got me to survival thus far. God Bless msphil

Hello sweetie, I went through this decision also, matter of fact it all took place as I was preparing to marry my wonderful husband God had sent into my life, I was engaged and in the midst of making wedding plans. So I had my hair cut down very short, then as it came completely out, I wore scarfs, and I also brought a wig which matched my own hair style to a tee, so I do believe your husband truly meant what he said for mine said the same thing and he truly meant it. We are married 14 yrs now. God Bless and you all are in my prayers, believe U can survive this ALL for if U stay POSITIVE and keep HOPE U can become a survivor, I,m 15 yrs cancer free )Praise the Lord) I couldn,t have gotten this far without HIM.
