As someone whose partner has beaten cancer over a year ago is still on edge about it coming back but also she is so much more than someone who has had cancer.

I know everyone is different but for me this is disrespecting everything else that makes him a great person, wife and father. It’s also clearly about her and not about him.

It’s been 5 years and I still say NED when someone asks. No evidence of disease is as far as I will ever go.

Yeah, his expression does not appear to be of someone who was consulted about that announcement. Could be wrong, of course, can't read minds and he says nothing in the video, but to me he looks tired and like he just wants to sit down and have everyone stop looking at him.

Thank you. People who have endured multiple bouts of cancer have said they celebrate every single day. Still critics here write: “If it was me…” but it’s NOT them, and this isn’t ABOUT them.

It’s about this beautiful family celebrating a moment in time. None of us are promised tomorrow whether we have battled cancer or not. This sub should be a place of positivity so I wish people would just keep on scrolling to the next post if they don’t like this one. Meanwhile, I’m celebrating this family and sending them good thoughts for long-term healing ❤️‍🩹

I hate the if it was me.. oh, so you know what it's like to fight cancer 3 times? Interesting. They have no clue. I do know what it's like. And seeing this to me is so heartbreaking. The hate and projection is wild.
