Thanks to all of you for advice and support. I am new to this site as I aswell was feeling lonely and in need to talk to others but to also read others stories. My boyfriend of almost 6 years has stage 2 cancer he is almost at the end of his treatment at this stage. I am so worried that it's not over yet and am longing for things to go back to the way they were before all of this. I also feel as though my closest friends don't understand, or even like to acknowledge what is going on in our life and are being very distant. But as I say that, my parents Are the most supportive and caring people around me and yet I'm the one pushing them away and not able to talk. I think this may be because I don't know if I can talk to them about it all and how much I'm struggling as I want to appear strong. I don't know if anyone else is going through the same difficulty as me and if so what advice can you give me? Sending everyone best of wishes -Kirsty ... View more

Hi Dotty and Rex, I'm new to this forum, youe post really helped me as I feel I'm going through similar difficulties. My boyfriend of 6 years diagnosed 6 months ago. I also feel the same as you about not accepting help from me but will accept others help, I feel not needed at times and as though he doesn't want me to come to his treatments. Going to all his treatments and being there to help and care for him helps me to accept what is going on and help me get through it a little easier. What your going through is tough and I truly wish all the best for you and your husband. And even though you may not feel like he wants your help, I'm sure he appreciates every little thing inside. ... View more
