How supportive is your partner?
Hi everyone, I had my biopsy on Friday and the radiologist said it was most likely cancer. I was a complete fool and didn't follow up on the ultrasound and mammogram that was performed in Octobe...

This exactly @Nix. You need to be focused and concentrate on you, your needs, your visits, your information. It's a whirlwind of a time and you really need not be distracted by anyone who isn't firmly on your team. It will all work itself out one way or the other. But you come first. I gave my partner the opportunity to walk because I told him he didn't sign up for it. He chose to stay and was great. But I was prepared to do it alone and sometimes I preferred to be alone than have him here too. Do whatever your heart, mind and gut tells you to. You have to have your own best interests at heart and be prepared to advocate for your decisions and your health. She'll step up or step away. Good luck!!!!Nix said:Well, I just got my diagnosis and now my partner is probably the furtherest thing from my mind. If she sticks with me then that's great but I have my doubts. I don't blame her, she didn't sign up for this. It will be a messy hard slog and as a few people have mentioned. I have no time for bystanders, your either in for the ride or adios.Thanks everyone. You guys rock. 💕🌈
