A Husband's Story

I knew Tiffany had gone for her first mammogram but thought nothing of it. Time passed by without a thought. One day I pulled in the driveway- in a hurry to go from one job to another and she was standing outside. I thought it was strange but whatever. I stepped out of my truck. She grabbed my arms,looks at me in the eyes and says "I have cancer." Not really wanting to believe what I just heard, I said "what?" She repeated herself and I started to cry. I composed myself because the kids didn't know yet and I had to go in the house. After I settled down we talked about it and she told me what the plan was. Surgery, chemo,radiation. A long road ahead but I was going to be there every step of the way. Watching the ordeal unfold in front of me made me realize how precious life is. The story has a happy ending as Tiffany is now cancer free. I will hold my breath at every blood test but I know she'll be ok. Please ladies, get your mammograms. It may just save your life.
