My boyrfriend of 1.5 years was diagnosed with colorectal cancer last week. The good news is the cancer has not spread to his lymph nodes, but the bad news is that it's too expansiive to operate and they must do chemo first. When they do operate he might lose his ability to deficate. I feel so incredibly sad for him right now. I am doing my best to stay upbeat around him but i find that i just fall apart whenever I am by myself. I am 29 and I don't know anybody who is going through this. I am unsure of what role I should play in his treatment and what I should do. If anybody has any I thoughts I would really appreciate them.
