Her book provides an overview of her 2020 pandemic year, when Rebecca was diagnosed and battled with breast cancer.

“It is a coincidence that the title of this book, which is mostly about our marriage and our life together, also applies to what 2020 taught us,” says Rebecca. “We are all stronger together, regardless of race, creed, skin color, religion, ideology, country of origin, ethnicity or socio-economic status. We are stronger together.”

The book describes the crews’ marital struggles, including Terry’s pornography addiction and infidelity. He says the biggest lesson he has learned is to guard against self-righteousness.

“I didn’t misbehave because I was frustrated with Rebecca. I didn’t misbehave because I pissed off or hated her, ”he says. “I misbehaved because I was self righteous. I believed I had a right to act the way I did. I would never admit that my failure was a fundamental lack of self-discipline that any marriage needs to survive. “

The duo acknowledge the challenges of their lives, especially the last year. “This year was marked by incredible challenges. We had our private fights in our own families as well as some very public fights, ”says Rebecca. “We hold on to our core values ​​of optimism, gratitude and reconciliation.”

Meanwhile, Terry is grateful. “I like to call myself the most grateful man in America because I know where I’m from and I also know where I could be,” he says. “I see it like Wow, I evaded all of this by the grace of God, and I’m so grateful.”

Rebecca focuses on practicing gratitude. “I started a gratitude journal at a difficult time. I know it’s old school, but I’ve started writing down every little thing that was even close to being good, ”she explains. “Over the course of a year, I made a list of almost 200 things. This goes a long way in changing your attitude. “

The crews’ cancer story

Rebecca, 55, was diagnosed with breast cancer a year ago and is now cancer free. Terry told SurvivorNet in a previous interview what it was like to hear the diagnosis. “I actually had a mild panic attack. The only way I can describe it was for my insides to melt like no, no, no, no, no, that can’t be. No, but Rebecca’s strength was so incredible, ”he said.

Terry says Rebecca asked him to be strong because they had to fight her cancer. “She said, ‘Hey. I said don’t look at me like that. ‘Yes, she did. She said, “Don’t look at me like that,” he says. “And I thought right, right. OK, and it shook me. It was almost like she grabbed me, how come on man. Wake up you know And I just thought, yes, yes, yes. And she said I’m ready to fight. And I knew I had to be strong. “

The importance of mammograms

Rebecca credits a mammogram for saving her life. It’s so important to keep checking for cancer even during the pandemic. Mammograms look for breast lumps and signs of breast cancer.

Dr. Connie Lehman, director of breast imaging at Massachusetts General Hospital, explains in a previous interview the importance of getting mammograms. She says, “If you have not yet gone through menopause, I think it is very important that you get a mammogram every year. We know that cancers are increasing faster in our younger patients and that an annual mammogram can be lifesaving. “

“After menopause, it may be perfectly acceptable to reduce this frequency to every two years,” says Dr. Lehman. “But what worries me the most are the women who haven’t had a mammogram in two, three or four years, the women who have never had a mammogram. We all agree that regular screening mammograms saves lives. “
