'Cancer would certainly be a hurdle, but it would not be barrier on our course.'
dictate our future. I was three months pregnant with our first baby when my husband was diagnosed with CML. He was admitted to the emergency room with what he thought were gout-like symptoms. Hours and multiple tests later, the possibility of cancer began to emerge. At first it is shocking and frightening to hear the word"cancer," but learning that it was leukemia was even more terrifying.
We do not often discuss the fact that my husband has a chronic disease, as it has just become another quality that defines who we are as family — like the fact that we are from Philadelphia or all really like ice cream. Friends and family always approach me in hushed tones and ask,"How is he doing?" like they're afraid saying it aloud will awaken the cancer. I always reply,"You mean his cancer?" It is a word most people hate to even say, but it is no secret in our life.
