Well I have never gone through this, so I am hoping for a little advice.
My fiance is a little *emotionally closed* I say this in the best possible way. He feels a lot of things, but doesn''t really talk.
On friday, his father was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Now this diagnosis was not a surprise to me, had chronic anemia for over 5 years, without the doctors coming up with a diagnosis. In any case, it''s a stage 3 (no real difference in prognosis in stage 3 and 4) median survival is 4 years, but VERY variable even at this stage. Can be 1 year, or could be 10 years.
In any case, my fiance just got really quiet. I don''t know what to do. I suggested he start to visit his parents more often (once a week, on sunday for breakfast) both of us have really crazy lives and don''t see our families as much as we do. I think that he knows his father is sick, it''s good for him to make some changes so he doesn''t have any regrets later on, but aside from that, I don''t know what to do for him.
Since friday, I''ve been waking up in the middle of the night, really worried about my fiance. I see him as having the possibility to really deal with this *badly* and I am trying to do everything to prevent a catastrophy.
If anyone has any advice it would be really appreciated.
