My mums got diagnosed with cancer in breast, lungs, liver and backbone nearly a month ago when she lost her mobility to walk. She's now bedbound and the oncologist have team are not treating her at the moment due to her fragile state. She's now being transferred to nursing home, where they can provide palliative care. Its all happening really fast within a month and I scared that anyday can be her last. The doctors didn't advise how long she got as it's very unpredictable. My family lives back home and its just, my mum and me here.
Throughout this I feel very drained, anxious and feel like my boyfriend's of 6 year hasn't gone out of his way to offer support in anyways. He offerd but never pulls through to actually do it. To make matters worse his now planning a holiday for a week. I am worried, someone whose supposed to be my best friend is leaving me behind with no support.
I try and give him a pass as we only lost his dad last year in May to cancer too. It was a long battle and drastically got bad in the end. I was there with him and for his family. Offering help and going out of my ways just to be there for him.
I am just not getting the same support from him as I hoped but also know as it hasn't even been a year and maybe the circumstances pushed him to be that way.
I've talked to him about it but he doesn't understand or sees it that way.
