Hi Angie,

Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to hear that your partner is going through a tough time and I can understand this must be a difficult situation for you too.

From what you are saying I should imagine you're doing all the right things already, in terms of showing that you care and that you're there to help wherever you can.

I would suggest it's the little things that could mean the most here - so listening whenever he wants to talk about it, asking questions to show you're interested and that you care (but equally giving him space if he doesn't want to speak about it too much), and generally keeping in touch and carrying on as normally as you can.

I appreciate the distance makes this tougher and harder to deal with.

Hopefully some others on the forum will see this post and offer some suggestions too.

Try not to overthink it too much - your post shows you care and I'm sure this will come across to him too.

Wishing you all the best,

Ben
