Please help with advice

So I've been dating my bf for just over 7 months now. Since I've been dating him, his dad has had cancer. First kidney cancer then it spread to his liver then his spine. It was okay to start with and I'd try to support my bf and his dad. It's getting to the point where his dad cannot move at all and having accidents. I want to support my bf but also want to preserve my own mental health. Does anyone know how best to do this?

  • Hi Kayzaa101,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. This sounds like a really difficult situation, and I hope you're able to get some advice from those around you as well as from us on here.

    You should try to think about your priorities and consider how much it is impacting you. I'm not sure what your situation is, for example regarding other work/study/commitments, but all these things need to be weighed up.

    You will know best how things are affecting you and also how you feel towards your partner. Whatever happens, do make sure you are looking after yourself and your wellbeing.

    Hopefully you'll receive some more replies on here soon.

    Wishing you all the best,
