Dumped for having cancer

I have recently been diagnosed with BC - a month ago. I gave my partner the opportunity to bail before everything started but they insisted they wanted to be there for me and stay by my side. One week after the surgery he dumps me. Why do they do that? It upsets me because I have had to go through so much on my own. My first husband died when my son was 15 months old. The second husband was abusive so had to get out. Met this lovely caring person who seem just right and they have left me standing to face this on my own. As others say you want someone who is not family, who loves you and all that comes with the package. Wished he had had the balls to tell me at the beginning so I could get my head round it. 
 

Feel so let down

  • Hi 

    Im so sorry to read your partner left you after first saying he wouldn't. 

    He clearly wasn't the person you had hoped he was and although his timing is crap better now than further down your treatment path. Do you know what type you have and what your treatment will be? 

    I also have BC and had surgery in April I'm currently going through chemo now and it is gruelling and takes everything out of you. 

    Do you have friends, family who can help you through this?

    Here if you want to chat.

  • Hi - only had the surgery 29th June - get my full results next week. Have had to have two seromas drained. The second one I had a temperature with. 
     

    i do have lots of lovely friends and family but mum was diagnosed with breast cancer the week before me. N nad it did not help that my dad passed away October. You just could not write it. My island of happiness was my partner and now he has bogged off. Feel so let down and still have to care for my son and my mother. I was working but off sick at the moment. Just thought this time I would have someone for me who would be by my side.
