The couple, who live in Los Angeles, wed in secret after Rodene, a talented photographer, was diagnosed with cancer on November 7.
Rodene has revealed that she still has six rounds of chemotherapy left, followed by a mastectomy and radiation.
And Duncan, who shaved his head in support of his wife, added: 'Those who have an issue with marijuana for medicinal use, all I can say is you have no idea what a boon it is for cancer pain management.
'She does not smoke. The pharmacies here in CA have a variety of ways to partake. Ro prefers tinctures and... chocolates!
Duncan and Rodene became engaged last summer, but were prompted to marry following Rodene's diagnosis.
They then made the brave decision to make Rodene's diagnosis public and have now raised more than $6000 for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation - with a target of $11,612.
