My Girlfriend told me she has terminal cancer

Hi all

I have recently met a girl, I immediately just fell in love, we clicked and she’s changed my life for the better. We were just casually talking about marriage when she casually said she’d  like a wedding but would never get her own. Confused I asked her and she told me she was diagnosed with terminal cancer 3 years ago...and has only 2 years left. 

Shes only 18, I’m 20. She’s the most beautiful girl I’ve ever known, and I do not deserve her. I know we’re young but I can’t imagine my life without her, knowing everyday we spend together is just one big countdown clock. She’s accepted it, and is ready. I feel so weak, it’s been four days and every time I think about her I break down, I managed to hold back all the tears when I saw her last night, but as soon as I got in my car just cried for two hours straight. I don’t know how to cope 

  • Hi there ...

    Well in truth, none of us know if we'll be here tomorrow. . Life is fickle ... so you've found the love of your life ... just think what two years you could have  ... you could make it a lifetime of memories ... you could give her two amazing years ... just don't think of the future ... live in the day ... that's what we all should do .. live every day like it's our last ..  l know it's a cliche, but you could get run over by a bus ... 

    All we can all do with a cancer diagnosis is live in the now ... never take anything for granted... and look at everything with new eyes ... don't think of loosing her ... think of having no amazing memories ... all we want is someone we love, walking right by our side holding our hands ...
