When I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015, my boyfriend Michael and I were still in the beginning stages of our relationship. I told him that next couple of months, even years, wouldn’t be easy both physically and mentally and that if he needed to leave, I wouldn’t hold any ill feelings against him. I remember when I told him this, he just looked at me with that smile that made me fall in love with him and said: “Shut up, when’s the next doctor's appointment?” And just like that, Michael never faltered.
