Cale521.... I am so terribly sorry that your girlfriend has had to deal with such shocking news at such a young age......
Let me start by saying, she is lucky to have you, you have come here for advice on how to help her..... being told you have cancer is a massive shock! Your mind gets put in a protective fog....it's a real roller coaster ride of emotions...It seems she has gone into this fog and is protecting herself and others from her news. As her partner, be prepared to ride it with her....she may not want to see you right now, but she will...just be there.....remember she is in shock and disbelief at the moment...just let her know you are there....try not to force anything on her at the moment...just be there.....sit quietly if you have to....be patient.
Although I don't know the full extent of her cancer.....or what her surgery entailed......By the sound of it her cancer has been detected early and it seems she has had the appropriate treatment so far.... . Of course you hear the word cancer and you automatically think, I'm going to die! But she needs to know that BC is not necessarily a death sentence! The treatments and services these days are exceptional.....just look around here and you'll see for yourself..
I really hope she is being counselled through this, being so young, and that the medical team have provided appropriate support networks for her....I'm hoping her parents are supporting her too..... she will come out of this initial shock of diagnosis and heal from her surgery and treatments, if any....
She is young, strong and beautiful....she can beat this....many have... and many will!
Remember to take care of you too, she needs you to be strong and upbeat, but at the same time if she's having a bad day, let her....
Sending you both love and light for easy recovery and beautiful days...
