Touchy subject here

Ok, I am going to ask my Her2 sisters about this. It's not the cheeriest of subjects. My husband and I have been getting along dreadfully for the longest and I am sick of it. I am tired of his anger issues and yelling. I feel like I am pretty much stuck in this awful hell because I have never worked and need his medical insurance. Being a stage IV and having life long herceptin and regular scans, I could in no way get the care that I get now in the charity hospital here. I have a young daughter and I have to stay alive for her till she's grown. After that I may say "screw it" and leave. Has anyone else faced these issues and how do you handle them. Other than that, I have remained healthy and am blessed ..sherryg
