Hi All,

I'm just wondering if any of you had any advice for maintaining / growing a relationship when one of you have been diagnosed with cancer? It's early days for us - we're about six months in - and we're waiting to hear on what stage he's at at the moment but it looks like it's a serious one. I'm likely to be a key caregiver, as his parents don't live in the same city, and I wonder whether acting as a nurse all the time might mean that when he's okay (fingers crossed) we'll find it difficult to get back to 'normal' and the lovely, fledgling but I-hoped-long-term relationship we had before then.

Or is that a selfish and silly question to ask? Has anyone got any hopeful stories of where cancer has bought them closer together with their partner? I guess we were still in the getting to know you stage a little....can we carry on doing that in a way which is healthy, and positive, despite such huge stress and worry?

Thank you!
