I have stage 2 ovarian cancer and I am half way done with my first round of chemotherapy. Before I was diagnosed my boyfriend and I were a real laid back couple and we were lax about communication. After my second treatment it must have hit him like a brick wall because two days ago we were walking into a breakfast joint close to his house. This time though he had noticed how much my chemo treatments had taken an effect on my physically. He said how my face was pale and how I was losing weight. My hair is starting to thin out and he asks me how I was feeling. I started to talk about it for a few minutes and his eyes start to turn beat red and I was thinking he's tired or his allergies are up no biggie. We get our food and he starts bawling his eyes out right when the waiter leaves, the first time he ever has cried in front of me. So I got carryout boxes and rushed him out and I went to pay for the food, he was a mess. When I got to the car he started crying really hard saying he didn't know what he would do if he ever lost me. My boyfriend does not cry and is good about holding in his feelings, I think it is the first time I have ever seen him break down. So of course I hugged him and told him I was going to be okay, trying my best to comfort him. He told me he is going to be a much better boyfriend to me and how is going to be here for me. He then starts talking about how he is going to switch his work schedule around so he will be here for me after treatments. Right after he says this he starts talking about wanting to move in together possibly in a year. I am 20 about to be 21 and we have been together for nine months. I have never felt this way about someone before I truly care for him and can go as far to say I love him. Whether this is the right step for us, we would be moving about two hours away however I would be close to family. We currently live 45 minutes away from each other and he said he wants to be able to take care of me more. Do you think he is saying this in the heat of the moment considering what's going on? Or do you think he does not want to leave me behind when he goes off to school? please I need help on this. When he first found out about me having cancer he was really calm and just talked me through it. The incident I am talking about right now happened two days ago, its the last time I have saw him and I am just trying to figure it out. Men especially help.
