although I am a cancer survivor and help a lot of people on here who have gone, going through, or have similar symptoms to myself, I now find myself coming back to this site seeking advice.
I work collegue of mine has just lost his partner of 41 years after a 12 year battle with bone cancer, she battled through until Boxing day.
I am aware that when i was diagnosed a lot of my male friends just did not know how to talk to me so didn't, now 14 months out of treatment, they treat me as if nothing happened .. and to be honest i prefer it that way.... cancer does not define who i am
However during my treatment it was nice to hear from people, even if they talked total rubbish.
Although I can offer words of support to this person, its nothing like talking to someone who has been through and come out the other side.
So I will try and get this guy to come on here and chat, but in the absence of that, if anyone has any advice for me to pass on I would be most grateful
