Re: What do we do now?
Oh, I am so sorry this happened to you. There are women on this board who also experienced this. Some their husband left during treatment. They may not respond because many women don't continue to come on the board after treatment is over.
You will survive and thrive. You do have to get over this terrible blow. But you did nothing wrong. One day, your husband will realize what a chump he was. Any other woman in his future will realize he is only there in the good times, not bad and in health and not in sickness. And you weren't even sick anymore but on the way to recovery. You are also almost at the point where the anxiousness starts to go away too.
Give up the bad feelings about yourself. Start being angry and sorry for your ex-husband. You got over cancer and you will get over this too. Time is our friend.
