About Me - Share your story and let other CSN members get to know you.I, too, lost 2 significant others to cancer. I was with my first husband for 25 years, together since 16 yrs old. We were married for 15 of those years with 3 children. Twelve yrs ago he was dx with Stage 4 Lung Cancer, passed 3 months later. Beyond devastation, but grew to accept and eventually met someone, but was terrified to get in relationship as for a repeat. He ended up being my tenant, and we fell in a deeply different kind of love. Sure enough, this past August he was dx with throat cancer and passed this week. I’m sincerely looking for similar or relevant experiences because it’s so surreal, and obv I’m still in shock
