Callejal

I too live in MI, a very small town called Pewamo. It is between Grand Rapids and Lansing. I am just beginning this journey so I may need to ask you some questions along the way.

How are you doing?

Callejal, I am sorry you are dealing with relationship issues on top of your cancer diagnoses.
For me my relationship with my partner had always been a priority in my life.
I have been a widow for 5 yrs (I had a great marriage!) I took care of my husband until his death from cancer.
A few months before my diagnosis I finally met a man that I was really interested in being with after going out with a number of men I wasn't interested in. I felt like it was a miracle that he had come into my life. But I was always getting sick, changing plans and finally I said let's stop seeing each other until I am better. I told him I would call him. He had text me and asked me how I was and I told him I will see you when I am better. That was before my diagnosis which has been recent. After my diagnosis I mourned the loss of what I thought would have been a good partner and froze. I don't seem to be able to tell him my diagnosis yet I feel like he deserves to know. Then cancer steps in and says I am a priority! and I forget it for a while.
I hope your relationship problems work out without much interference in your health. Take care.

Hi Callejal! I am glad you are doing well! I have so many questions for you! Thank you!

Callejal: Welcome to the Whatsnext family. Wow, what a different experience. I was wondering what kind of active treatment did you have and for how long?
