When couples lose themselves during cancer treatment

My wife is three months into cancer treatment and we've stopped having any conversations that aren't about appointments or symptoms — we used to laugh together and now we're just surviving, and I don't know how to find us again without seeming like I don't care about what she's going through.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
