Hi EmFarm,

Welcome to Cancer Chat. It's often hard to know what to do in these sorts of situations. It is usually helpful to talk about these things so hopefully in time he will talk more about it, but I know some people prefer not to.

Try to carry on as normally as possible and perhaps being there for him as normal day-to-day is as helpful as anything, rather than looking to act in a certain way. And of course ensuring he knows you're there to talk about it if and when he wants to.

I hope this helps a little and do use this forum for further support if you'd like to - it's a very understanding and supportive community of people.

WIshing you all the best,

Ben
