Partner shutting me out after finding out he has Prostrate Cancer Stage 2. What should I say or do?

My partner is shutting me out and we have seen each other or really spoken for 8 weeks. After a row wanting to know why he is treating me like this he tells me he has stage 2 cancer. Has not told anyone in his family and had quit his job. He didn't want to tell me cause my dad died of cancer. Says he doesn't want to burden me .... what do I say, what so I do..... any little advise will be greatly appreciated

  • Thanks for the reply. I feel like I'm stuck in limbo. I totally understand the space, but feel like I am being pushed away when all I want to do is help. He has quit his job, been to see solicitors. I don't know if he is telling me everything or not. I know he is scared but he won't say it.
