In a touching and emotional account, a 54-year-old woman who survived breast cancer shared her experience following surgery and the unexpected challenges she faced within her marriage. She bravely opened up about her journey during a support event at the Terengganu Shariah Judiciary Department.

When she received her diagnosis, she faced a crucial choice in pursuing the medical treatment advised by her doctors. Following their guidance, she underwent surgery to remove one breast, a significant step to stop the cancer from spreading.

Despite her determination to prioritize her health, her husband strongly opposed the surgery. Despite his resistance, she remained steadfast in her decision and went through with the operation.

Unfortunately, her husband's disapproval escalated to the point of seeking a divorce, citing disagreement over her medical choice. Reluctantly, she accepted the divorce, facing pressure from her husband to pursue traditional treatment methods.

Before the divorce was finalized, her husband expressed a distressing belief about her survival chances, telling her that she'd likely succumb to her illness in a year, causing additional emotional strain during her already challenging battle with cancer.

Despite facing immense pressure and challenges post-divorce, including depression and health complications, she remained resilient. Disappointed by her husband's lack of support during her cancer fight, she found strength in parting ways, describing it as freeing herself from a painful situation.

"In sickness and in health" doesn't apply to every couple it seems.
