Boyfriend has cancer pushing me away

So my bf was diagnosed with cancer about a week ago. I reassured him that I wasn't going to leave him that I love him & that I will be there for him thru it all. He started distancing himself from me but he would still respond to me when I messaged him. Last night he told me he was sorry that he's in pain &feels regret. I tried to get him to talk to me about how he feels & that i wanted to see him but he said no that he just want to be alone & needs distance that he was sorry. So i told him that I'm still here for him & that I love him. Shortly after that I had seen he had blocked me from Instagram. I still have him on fb & I see that he still posts. I don't know how to feel about the whole thing. All I want to do is be there for him but I don't want to push him to much. It's been so hard idk what to do.

    I'm sorry to hear about your boyfriend, what a difficult situation this must be for the both of you!

    Sadly, this pushing away is something that many here on Cancer Chat will understand as they've been through a similar experience with their loved ones affected by cancer. I hope some of our members who can relate to what you are going through at the moment will be along shortly to share their experiences with you and offer support, as talking does seem to help, but in the meantime feel free to post as much as you need. There is always someone here to listen and you don't have to go through this alone.

    Best wishes to you and your boyfriend,
