Hi everyone,
My boyfriend (20) has recently been diagnosed with Stage 2 abdominal cancer which has spread into his lungs. He seems pretty optimistic and I'm trying to stay positive for him. We've only been together since Feb 2020 so this is a massive shock and strain for us. I was wondering how I'm meant to support him through his journey/chemo as due to covid 19 lockdown i won't be able to see him :(. A friend suggested writing a letter each week so I might try that. I'm just worried he'll try and push me away to save me any pain and especially as we haven't been together for that long.
UPDATE: I saw him today and he tried to break up with me as he doesn't want to be a burden to me. I just reassured him he wasn't and that I was very for him etc. He agreed to keep the relationship going and just take it day by day. However he said that he couldn't promise that when he's going through chemo he wouldn't feel like he wants to end the relationship. I just don't know what to do, I want to stand by with him and be there for him as his girlfriend but I can't if he pushes me away and if he decides to end our relationship in the future
