I'm so scared my boyfriend has cancer

 

Hello

My boyfriend is nearly 32 and a week or two ago, he started passing a lot of blood when he went to the toilet (not urination); it eased off slightly but came back. He has gone for blood tests and a checkup, and its been determined there is a problem with his liver but as he is still bleeding, he has to go for an urgent referral to the hospital, I'm absolutely terrified that its cancer.

It has been a really hard year already after losing our baby and I don't want to make this all about me, I want to support him as much as possible because its him going through all of this and I can't even begin to imagine how difficult this must be for him. I will go to any and all appointments with him, hold his hand and support him everyway I possibly can. I'm trying to reassure him that its good he went to the doctors when he did, he's been gaining weight but that could be from eating somewhat unhealthily (not all the time, just likes to induldge) and feeling tired. Its my birthday today and its the worst kind of news to possibly receive, I'm glad I know whats happening so I can support him through it, but I was praying that the outcome would be good news.

  • Hi there and welcome ...

    I know it's no good saying don't panic ... coz we all did just that on those early tests ... and results ..  but try not to do the "what ifs" till you know all the facts and then you'll at least know the way forward ..  

    Cancer treatments have come a long way over the years , and more and more are living with it ... so hold on in there ... and so so sorry you both lost a baby .. that's really hard to go though ... remember it's o.k to let feelings out .. it's part of coping ... it's holding everything in, that's overwhelming  ...  fingers crossed for a good outcome .....chrissie xx
