Hi,

This is my first post to a forum but I'm at a total loss on how to provide adequate emotional support to my partner of 11 months following a terminal prognosis ( brain mets) 

The six month prognosis was given in September ( 4 months in to our relationship), whilst it's positive we've passed this date, my partner broke his hip some 6 weeks ago and recently had surgery meaning he's been off chemo and his hip isn't healing as would be hoped. I know he is scared, anxious, frustrated but it seems what ever I do, is wrong. I try my best to reassure him when he has difficult moments and mostly this is successful, however lately this leads to arguments between us which increases both our stress levels and my partner expressing the view he wants to end our relationship and often making unkind, untruthful and hurtful comments which he later apologises for and says he doesn't mean. 

I'm really struggling how to manage this in the best way for both of us, and advice will be gratefully received :D 

Thanks in advance, stacey
