• I need some help. I'm in my late 30s and have been in a pretty serious relationship with an amazing guy for about 6 months, but he's new to this cancer thing and the after effects. He's scared. He's worried. But he's also a tough guy who doesn't want to worry me with his feelings all the time. Has anyone been through something similar? What resources can I direct him to? (click here to answer)
