Have to disagree with rileyroo, you should be glad he's left. The last thing you need when you have a cancer diagnosis is to try and deal with the feelings of an angry man.

You're better off without him, forget him and concentrate on yourself. Smile 'cos you're free.

Hi Katy,

Welcome to Cancer Chat. It sounds as if you've been going through a really rotten time lately. Sadly, a cancer diagnosis causes a number of relationship problems and some partners feel that they cannot cope with the enormity of it all.

If you are anything like the majority of us shortly after a diagnosis, you will probably feel that your emotions are all over the place and tears are never far away. This does not make it easy for partners to cope and, if there are already anger issues to deal with, you might be better on your own for the moment.

Did you have a lumpectomy or a mastectomy? Have you been told what type of breast cancer you have, or been given a treatment plan? Do you mind me asking what age you are and whether or not you have family and friends who can support you through this? Sorry for so many questions, but this helps to find someone in a similar situation to your own, who may be able to help you out.

I have breast cancer too.. I was diagnosed 7 years ago and have had 2 bouts of primary breast cancer in the same breast. I had a lumpectomy the first time followed by Tamoxifen and I had a double mastectomy the second time followed by Letrozole.

Please keep in touch. There is always someone here whenever you feel like talking – Just remember that you are never alone once you have found this site.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
