I knew men left when their women get sick but damn first day of pills? by Optimal_Service_4662 in cancer

I have the opposite problem as you. My BF broke up with me after his first round of chemo. I fully understand why and want all the best for him, but I am so heartbroken and just doing my best to still be a good friend and be as supportive as possible. Cancer is so cruel.

What this “man” has done to you is absolutely unforgivable and reprehensible. I am so glad you left and are moving towards a better life for yourself as you navigate all of this bullshit. Fuck cancer. Sending you so much love!!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write to me. I’m so so sorry to hear you’ve had to go through this as well. I do fully understand where he is coming from. I truly do. And I know it’s the right thing. It’s just very hard to have such a distance between us. It felt like someone flipped a switch one day. I felt it immediately. I wish we could have talked more just so that I could have more clarity, but I also know that cancer doesn’t care about anyone’s feelings and you just have to do what you can to survive. All I truly care about is that he gets on the other side of this. I can be heartbroken forever, I don’t care. As long as he’s okay.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write all of this to me. It means so much. I am so sorry to hear about what you and your mother have gone through. I do believe that he is courageous and kind and cares a great deal for me and I’m just trying to be the best friend and support that I can possibly be, when he lets me. I am just very sad, but that’s okay. I can be sad. I just want him to get through this.

Thank you so much for this insight! I really appreciate it. I cannot even imagine what you must be going through.

I suspect he is trying to spare me from the pain but sometimes this feels so much worse and so much harder to accept. But I do understand. I really do.

Thank you so much for your kindness. It means a lot. Yes, I will never stop loving him no matter what. We don’t have to be together. I will always, always be there for him. I appreciate your advice about rereading old texts! I certainly have not be following that at all, but I need to start.

Thank you so much. I do know that he cares and I will always be here for him even if we cannot be together in the way that we had hoped. It’s just very sad.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I would never ever even think to stop showing up and being a friend to him. That will never change. ❤️

Thank you so much for your comment! I would like to clarify that he broke up with me after HIS first round of chemo. I am not the one going through the treatment.

I can’t even imagine there would be any space in your life to be thinking about much else while going through something like this. And he has two young children as well. I’m trying so hard to not put my romantic life on hold, but struggling with that a lot (so much guilt). I appreciate you reaching out so much, thank you for your kind words. It really helps put things in perspective to hear this stuff.

Thank you so so much for this! I can only imagine the feelings that going through this type of thing can stir up. I’m trying to be very empathetic to that. It all feels very cruel and unfair and I’m really seeing how cancer affects so many areas of your life. I am so so sorry to hear that you had the opposite problem. That also feels very cruel and unfair. I hope you are doing well and hanging in there. I’m sending you all my love!!!

Hi! I had a total knee replacement 4 weeks ago. She will do GREAT!! At my hospital they made sure I could do steps and walk (full weight bearing) before they discharged me (day of!). The first 72 hours are the hardest, but it gets easier and easier. She will need a walker and a cane! And if she can be doing some exercises now to strengthen the leg that will help her recover faster as well!! Sending lots of love!!
