My partner has gastric cancer

I've been spiralling we are both so young the sheer thought of growing old with the chance that it'll be without him is slowly breaking my heart. I don't want to make him feel worse by crying constantly because that's not good for anyone, I hold his hand and just walk him through his days, I would genuinely give him my stomach and other organs if I could, if it ensured he would live a full life, I wish there was more I could do to help him, whenever I'm at home and not with him I just break down and cry, I will never walk away or give up though even on the bad days, every day I love him more and more. 
 

im so sorry for the long message I just felt like I was suffocating with emotion. 

  • bless you i can't even imagine what your going through

    my husband is awaiting cancer test results for bowel cancer and i'm forever crying when i'm alone or in the toilet/shower etc and that's without a positive diagnosis so i can't even begin to imagine how you feel

    it helps to let it out and talk as keeping it all to yourself is the worst thing 

    and sometimes forums like this can help to talk about what your going through 

    support is the best thing you both need xxx

  • All I can say is going through similar thing , my partner has said he gets scared if he sees I'm panicking or upset so I try to let go not around him , I'm so sorry for you it's an awful awful situation you only get it when your in it xxxxxxxxxx
