Hi all,

i just need somewhere to let off a bit of steam, a month ago my partner had a ultra sound and they found an 8cm complex cyst in his kidney, we went for a ct scan 2 weeks ago amd are now waiting on the results which we found out yesterday we have an appointment for the 17th December, so another 2 weeks to wait.

My partner is convinced he's got cancer and is dying, I'm trying so hard to keep him positive but to be honest it is putting a huge strain on both of us. I've had to have some time off work as I'm struggling with the stress and he has been signed off for 2 weeks for the same reason.

my question really is how do you stay positive, how do I get him through the next 2 weeks when he's convinced that he is dying? He has lost a lot of weight which I think is down to stress. We have t told the kids yet as waiting on the results, so we have to try to act like normal.  I feel so lost and useless.
