[Marriage and Love] 
How to Help Your Spouse with Breast Cancer 
When you find out that your spouse has breast cancer, can you handle this situation emotionally and psychologically? Well, you have to understand about breast cancer and treatments but your spouse really needs you first because she or he cannot be alone without you and needs your support, especially your love. Let’s go head with 5 ways to help your spouse with breast cancer.

[5 Ways to Help Your Spouse with Breast Cancer]

1. Talk with your spouse what she/he needs. But, I advise that you do not have to come there for your spouse all the times because she/he may need some space and get some rest. Let her/him be lead. Importantly, your spouse will and would be more appreciated that you care more about her/him. 

2. Listen to your spouse what she/he talks generally. The fact is that she/he will and would be happy to see you are a good listener.

3. Pray and knee down with your spouse in some places where she/he feels comfortable. Nothing’s so wrong with the places your spouse wants to pray and knee down. She/he will and would notice that you are showing great support to her/him and pray together.
4. Be here for your spouse whenever she/he needs you. If your spouse needs you to go with her/him to the medical, it’s okay to go. Before you go with her/him, do not jump into the conclusion with the doctors. Just let your spouse handle that with the doctors because you may not want to make your spouse feeling overwhelmed over many medical issues. Stay positive and be strong.
5. Take care of yourself as well as your spouse. If you feel overwhelmed or burnt out, take a break for awhile. You can ask someone you trust to take care of your spouse while taking break. Do not be afraid to leave your spouse alone and be sure to let her/him know that you need a break for awhile. I’m sure that your spouse would understand that you really need a break for yourself and treat yourself well.
