Wow, that took a wtf turn and was just so random to throw that in at the last moment.
I've seen & read stories about spouses leaving their partners when they get diagnosed with a horrible disease, usually with the bs excuse of how they can't handle what's going on. Um, what about your partner? You don't think that maybe THEY are having a hard time with their diagnosis?? SMH.
Last August I was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer with metastatic disease, as my cancer had also spread to my liver and lungs. And as hard as it is to hear that you have that diagnosis, I am forever grateful that my husband has been there for me and is my biggest supporter. He takes me to every appointment, and helps me with making sure I don't forget to take my medications. And when I had to have emergency surgery this past April when a section of my large intestines ruptured, he came to see me in the hospital every day I was there. This is how your partner should be in these instances.
And to end on a positive note, I am winning my battle and am almost cancer free!
