A truly heartfelt endeavor, My Wife's Fight With Cancer is one husband's method of helping to cope with the day-to-day struggle that is brought about by terminal illness. Photographer Angelo Merendino hopes the photo series will help shine a little light on what it's like when an unchosen battle must be waged.
His partner Jennifer was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007 and the two are helping to place breast cancer into an everyday context. It's tough to imagine what it's like when a loved one is going through such an experience unless you've gone through it yourself. As such, My Wife's Fight With Cancer sheds light on the life that Angelo and Jennifer share while she continues to battle with the invasive illness.
The photo series is on-going and documents the ups and downs that come with the experience, which brings about many smiles and tears when perusing the very personal shots.
