LOVE & INTIMACY, Aug / Sept 2019, Vol 4, No 4, 95 pages

They say when a person gets cancer, their whole family and support network also gets cancer. Within this issue you’ll find many stories of cancer dropping like a bomb into the center of a relationship. My goal in putting together the issue was not only to represent as many different cancer experiences, as is my goal in every issue, but this time around I also aimed to spotlight as many different types of relationships and outcomes as possible. To this end, you’ll find within this issue weddings, divorces, dating... as well as marriages which are very much in the active stage of weathering the cancer landscape. And finally, you’ll also find some who discovered a love of self through it all: perhaps the most important relationship of all.
