Soon after my wife had achieved full recovery from her cancer surgery (with no chemo) she decided to celebrate by hiking the Grand Canyon from rim to rim (North to South). She achieved this goal with the help of a good friend. And, although, I didn't go along on that journey, I was there in spirit.
A few months later, however, I did take the walk with my wife at several cancer-related events. There was a cancer "style show", a walk for a cure, and a large walk through the streets of Indianapolis for cancer survivors. I was glad I participated in these, one and all.
Men can be of great support to their wives not only by participating in these events, but more importantly, by walking the walk every day.
During those first months of full recovery, while a woman is working up to full strength, men can lend their greater strength and effort to a variety of projects. Some of these could be household needs, while others might be work-related or even family-related.
And, of course, if you do have an opportunity to take that Grand Canyon walk, and if your wife is up to it . . . I'd highly recommend making that journey, too.
