Testicular Cancer.... how do i deal with someone i love having to go through this?


here's what's going on. I've been with my boyfriend for about 15 months now. I recently broke up with him, and he's going to be moving his stuff out of my apartment in the next day or so. He told me last week that he was diagnosed with Testicular Cancer, which has spread to his lungs and brain. Now i can't stop crying, it's hard to smile, things just aren't the same.
I took him to a doctor's appointment today, and he came back with red, puffy eyes and his cheeks all wet. But he won't tell me what the doctor said. My boyfriend said he doesn't want to burden me and that it's not fair if he tells me.
I love this man, i do. we just don't work as a couple anymore. So now i can't get him to tell me anything. I can only guess what the doctor said- that he has a certain amount of time left, or that he has to start Chemo and he'll get sick. I wish he would just let me be his support- he refuses to tell any family members or friends. i'm the only one that knows about the cancer..... help!

i broke up with him, then he told me a few days later that he got diagnosed a week before but just never told me.
but i've been to the hospital with him and everything- so if it's a hoax just to keep me, it's pretty elaborate.

My wife had colon cancer, but she has treated and is cancer free now. From my experience I know this is not something that she wanted to hide from people. People going through this are looking for understanding and compassion to help them through what everyone knows is a very, very traumatic time. I think the key to what you were saying is that he is moving out...this may be a fictional condition to create sympathy and to keep you as his girlfriend. I would insist on some documentation of the condition...make up something like you want to research his condition on webmd to see what may be going to happen to him. Good luck.

You poor things. I know how this feels - went thru it with my mum. Your boyfriend thinks he is shielding you - he possibly hasn't been able to take it in properly yet, and could still be in denial.
Give it a day or so - just be ready to listen and be there for him. he may open up. If not, you must tell him how you feel - show him this question if you like. Tell him it will hurt less if you can support him.
Honey - he's so lucky to have you. God bless you both

I'm not saying he's lying, but my friends ex told her the same thing and she felt so bad for him and it turned out that it wasn't even true. He was just trying to get her to feel sorry for him.

Did you break up with him before or after he was diagnosed?

I'm very sorry, this may help:

CANCER: On the news it was found that Swedish scientists found that human breast milks kills cancer in a petri dish. People who drink it have had some success in fighting off cancer.

You need a prescription and it's not the cheapest thing to obtain, but it works.
