My 19 year old girlfriend was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. I don't know what to do
About a month ago my girlfriend was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer. Surprisingly she seemed like she was doing so well considering her situation. I have been so proud of how strong she has been...
As you have read from others so many emotions to deal with when diagnosed. I am wondering if writing to your girlfriend may help if she won't see you. Let her know you care and want to be there for her. Let her know even if at this time she doesn't want you as a boyfriend....you still would like to be her friend. Breast cancer is difficult enough for long term relationships to cope with so a new one is even more challenging. I have no other answers except to say to you it is not you but her presently. Keep trying and if all else fails at least keep in touch via her parents so that you know how things are. Thinking of you. Kath
