Just read this post for the first time. I think to get cancer at least a few factors come into it.Most cancers aren't caused by one single thing . So many things are linked to cancer these days -diet,lack of exercise,chemicals,smoking ...etc. Many or maybe all of these affect the immune system.It's so complicated .I get your question but wonder if your doctor even knows the answer.

My husband had prostate cancer 6 years ago, He was 59 then . Apart from me he told nobody for a long time . It was moderately advanced , We saw A couple of specialists to consider treatment options and were given booklets with information.
We both read these and discussed treatments and possible side effects. There was only as much discussion as needed . Most men won't talk as much as most women at these times.There semed to be a downside to each treatment available and the specialist didn't lean toward any one option so the decision was my husbands. He did want my imput but we had been together a long time.
I can certainly understand your boyfriend's reaction .He is very young to get this .Has he told you anything more? How slow or aggressive it is ? Does he have someone else close to him with whom he can to talk this over? It must have been a huge shock . I hope they caught it early.
I don't know what to say to make you feel better .Perhaps in time he may decide to let someone help hom through this. It does for now seem that he is on his own . If you read up about this cancer you will understand why he doesn't want to talk to you about it. Sorry I can't help more.
