This cancer thing seems so much harder for my partner than for me. He gets really upset although it appears we have caught it in time as it hasn't spread. The thing is it keeps bringing me down. I'm a glass half full person and want to feel positive but he's so worried about what will happen to him and the dog if I die. We are in council housing and I am applying to have my partner's name on the tenancy agreement. It's a bit of a process and we don't know if they'll say yes. We have no savings so it is a worry. Councils don't give a damn about single men and you can't take a dog into their temporary accommodation. I feel sure we should be able to sort it out so that he doesn't have to worry but it's not certain, obviously. Anyway, I feel better for talking about it.
