CML and new love - Dear Lynn

[Guest guest]

Dear Lynn

My heart truly goes out to you for the experience you had with

the " frying pan man " . I do love that handle by the way. Sadly it is

not an isolated story. When I was being treated for breast cancer and

the man I was living with bailed on me right after my third chemo

therapy I was devasted. I sought councelling at the cancer clinic and

learned that approximately 70% of relationships break up during cancer

treatment. Surprisingly, often times it is the patient who ends it.

This is a trying time for all, and we often make decisions based on raw

emotions instead of logical thought. Truly sad. There is always a

double edged sword though and I was better off without the spineless

fool and now find myself deeply in love with a fabulous strong man.

I am so happy to hear that you have found love post CML. I would love

to hear more love stories as it brings such hope to those of us who are

alone at this time.

best wishes
