When a loved one is sick, it can take a toll. A new study confirms that when one spouse gets cancer, the other also suffers emotionally and physically. In fact, the health of the care giving spouse can also show noticeable decline in the months and years after a diagnosis.While previous studies have noted that spouses can become depressed after a diagnosis, this study focuses on physical illnesses such as heart disease, high blood pressure, arthritis, and even muscle pain.
It makes sense...
