Over the years, I have gotten many questions about relationship advice for couples dealing with a serious diagnosis, so I decided to make a new video with more of my thoughts. Remember that my advice about breaking up is more for people who are dating and not in a marriage (because that was our situation at the time). I do think a lot of other things in this video can be helpful for people who are in more committed relationships though!

Other video (with Gray) about how cancer affected our relationship:

I thinkwhat makes you both so excellent is that 1. you are very smart, 2. Very verbal and very honest. That is a rare and unbeatable combination.

You two are both incredibly mature and sensitive humans.

You are really lucky to have a man like Gray that has stayed beside you through everything. I lost my husband to cancer 6 months before i was diagnosed. I know he would have done everything he could have done for me. These men are few and far between. Thanks for sharing Samantha

Very interesting video Samantha. Well said. It is a very different concept with your thinking of a relationship ending before treatment. I was diagnosed with cancer after 27 years of marriage. Our relationship had already gone through serious health issues and other life issues. No keeping my husband from being with me for treatment.We needed both of us during the journey.

You're so well spoken! I love listening to these types of videos. You make me introspect on a lot of topics and I think I know more about myself because of that! So, thank you!

@aliceschmid9697

This is an extremely powerful video.

Very well said Samantha. Thank you 🙏🏼 for always being so transparent. I wish you, Gray and your baby all the best. Much love 💕🌹

Your attitude you both have about life and issues that comes your way, also caring about each has made your faces journey both hard and easy at the same time. I think sometimes people in general likes to keep everything all to themselves and that can make a serious illness fight so much harder. Love your videos💗

You are so aware for someone your age. Great therapist and also great information in any type of relationship. Enjoyed and I am 72.

sometimes I feel it's hard to tell a boyfriend about cancer diagnosis. Cuz I wouldn't know how my boyfriend would react. I never had cancer before but. If cancer ever happened to me it'd be scary to tell my boyfriend cuz I don't want him to get depressed 😔 he sadly already lost both his parents do it. He lives alone. He's been living alone for a long time.

I love you Samantha and I love Gray too, but can't get over a feeling that maybe you are rushing things a bit. A stage 4 cancer is not cured at only 2 years post-diagnosis. Wouldn't it be better to slow down, make fewer huge changes, minimize all this stress?
