I know it's difficult living with someone after a cancer diagnosis, esp if they also have other health issues. My partner has been good on the practical side (e.g. taking me to appointments). However, I just don't feel that he 'gets' it at all. He can't understand worry about recurrence ('they said they'd got it all out', so move on type of attitude), does not understand medication side effects & ongoing post treatment pain, can't understand why I am upset about appearance changes. Tbh our relationship did have issues before my cancer diagnosis, so perhaps his reaction is not so surprising but has anyone else experienced a similar response from a partner & if so, what you did?
