Hi,
About 5 months ago, my boyfriend discovered a small bump under his arm. It was later found that it's a cancerous malignant and surgery has been performed to remove it. About 2 months later, the bump seemed to have returned and he was scheduled for radiation treatments. The problem is...that's about all I know about his condition. He refuses to let me know any detailed information or to go with him to his treatments. He's only notified a cousin of his who's usually the person to drive him to his treatments. Whenever I try to ask about the condition, he just tells me that he doesn't know. I don't even know what type of cancer he has. The treatments have obviously taken a tole on his health and he's constantly tired and feeling nauseas. I have to respect his decision not to tell anyone about this, but I feel completely helpless. I'm constantly pushed away whenever I offer to help and he has expressed that he doesn't want "pity" from me. Does anyone have any tips on what I can do at this stage and maybe what I can offer to help him?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
