Hi there dogs ...

I'm so sorry you find your self in this sad situation .... cancer has no compation... and the one thing that seems to effect a lot of us in those early days is mood swings ...  it sends your brain into overdrive ... the word  cancer turns your world upside down .. the word future becomes blurry ... it makes us vulnerable no mater how strong we are .. I think it's like jumping out of a plain and not knowing if the parashoot will open ... 

So don't worry if he won't talk just yet, l was the same on being given the news ... once I'd got my head around it and was ready to get the old vertual boxing gloves on and I jumped into the ring and looked cancer in the eye , and only then did l let those l love help me through ... 

If you can just reassure him that your there when he's ready and that whatever happens your gonna be right there by his side , and then give him the space to get his head around it ... it's like watching a football match ... you can cheer them on from the side lines but you can't run onto the pitch (hope that makes sense) 

And when he let's you in, it's o.k to admit your both scared and sharing a few tears is better then trying to look strong , because then he will feel he has to be strong for you too ... listening to each other is the key ..  you can do this ... sending you a vertual hug ... Chrissie x
