Hi  . Yes it is a scary time ahead I too am alone living with cancer . Slightly different circumstances to yours as I am widowed(although have 2grown up sons 2grandchildren) but understand where your coming from 're having a cuddle and someone hold you and say it's going to be ok. I had a hysterectomy 3yrs ago due to having endometrial cancer but it spread  to the peritoneal area which is a rare form of cancer,aggressive  and untreatable.  I had chemo last year to shrink it and now hold my breath every day hoping it's not growing too fast as there is no guarantee chemo will work again .i hold down a full time job which is very tiring but on the bright side....there's always someone else worse off. . But loneliness in the evening's and during the night when sleep doesn't happen is something no one can help us with. My sister helped me through my darkest days same as your friend has with you and will continue to do no doubt but please think positive.never know what or who's round the corner do we. I would love to meet a partner for friendship and outings so maybe in the near future ....for us both x stay strong
