Hello,

My partner has been diagnosed with esophageal cancer.  He's had a scan today to see how bad it is and if it's spread then he sees the specialist next week.

We've been together a year.  Before that he was single for 10 years and has got used to being alone.  Normally I'm fine with that but i feel like he's pushing me away.  I know he's doing it because he'd worried about how I'll cope as i have health issues myself but i don't want him to go through this alone.

I don't know what to do.  Do I tell him he's hiring me by pushing me away and risk upsetting him or do i leave it until he comes round?

Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask.  I just don't know where to turn right now.

Thank you
