My partner has recently been diagnosed with bowel cancer. He is a very secretive person in normal life and refuses to tell any of our friends about his diagnosis. I’m finding it really hard as my way of coping is to have my support group of friends. It’s also difficult as we’re having to cancel plans and I’m having to make up reasons why. Any ideas on how I can get him to open up about things - I feel support and talking things through would be good for him too.
