Hi All.
I am new to ALL of this, but really need some help, advice or guidance... My partner and I have recently rekindled an old flame from many years ago, when we were both young and full of dreams! We both went our separate ways, but always stayed in touch. Finally we both actually said how we felt and have been together for the last few months, which we're ecstatic about!
But he has prostate cancer, was diagnosed almost a year ago... He hasn't really done much as way of treatment or getting help. Which worries me a lot. He recently received a letter saying he has a severe heart defect and basically can drop dead at any time.. Again he has been flippant about it.
What can I do to help? As I know he's worried about what he'll be told, but he won't face what's happening.
As you can tell, I'm very confused and worried.. So any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for reading my dilemma and helping me. x
