Hi @Nix, I am sorry your partner isn't there for you as expected. Maybe shock or fear. Time will tell. I was fortunate to have a good husband but he had bad days as I do too. I have only just finished all my surgical, chemo and radium treatment. It is all such alot to process. Some family were ok and others I heard nothing from and it was they same with friends too. Some great and some not. Some female friends said dreadful things to me. I guess they just didn't think. I thought close Female friends would be the best but not everyone can come on this ride with you. Wait and see what your diagnosis is and give your partner a chance. At the end of the day though this is all about you and you will need all the support you can to help get through it. Choose the people you want on this ride with you carefully and make sure they are there for your support. Best wishes
