I've been with this girl for over a year now and she lived in the US and I live in the UK. I'm 19 and she is 18. Anyways, tonight she told me that she has been getting headaches and it's being going on for a while. She said she visited the doctors and they are monitoring her tumours that they couldn't remove when she first was diagnosed with brain cancer and since being in remittance for the last two years this has suddenly occurred.
She has had a very hard couple of years losing both her parents and I've lost many family members to cancer but I feel as though I don't know what to say, how to comfort her. All I want to say is that everything will be okay but deep down if her tumours are causing all this and if things take a turn for the worse. Hopefully that isn't the case. Is there anything I can do? Is there anything I can say that can reassure her that I'm there for her and everything will be okay?
My family don't know I'm in a same sex relationship and don't know I'm part of the lgbt community. So essentially I'm dealing with this on my own but I want to support her the best I can. She's not only my girlfriend, she is my best friend and I really want to help In anyway I can.
