Marriage Curtails Cancer

“A beautiful person is with you, confide your problems.”

The c-word: Cancer. I’ve had so many friends and family battle this monster. Sometimes I feel like Mona AlvaradoFrazier when she talks about her friend Michele Serros: https://alvaradofrazier.com/2015/01/06/michele-serros-author-poet-friend/

I wish there was a four-letter word I could use in conjunction with this devastating illness: Cure. And here’s another c-word: Curtail. Well, at least marriage has been shown to help…so let love birds sing!

Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean the C-headed beast doesn’t claw couples as well. But it is wondrous to see the spouse that stands by their mate. Because although the big C can chomp on physical weakness, it can’t sever emotional strength.

  1. Nice to know.

  2. Thanks for the reference to my blog post. This resonates with me, “…although the big C can chomp on physical weakness, it can’t sever emotional strength.” As a cancer survivor myself, and who knows of many cancer thrivers, I can say that cancer tests emotional strength. Many more times than not, emotional strength develops even more.
