Stomach Cancer
Posted , 6 users are following.
My 37 year old boyfriend was diagnosed with stage 3 stomach cancer around this time last year. Doctor gave him 3 to 9 months to live. He was on a clinical trial and had a scan. It did not spread and stayed the same size. Now he is not receiving any kind of treatment and I am worried about how much longer he is going to live. He drinks alcohol very heavily. (6+more a day, bud light platinum with sake) Before it was a bottle of fireball a day for the first 3 years we were together, which I know not good either way. I do not know how to help him because he gets very defensive every time I talk to him about his health. How can I help him?

Hey Katie, The trouble is I think he's stuck in the denial stage. Maybe with your support he can face making plans for the future no matter how bleak it may seem. I also drink to smooth out the worry. It's not good but in his situation I can fully understand where he's coming from. He really needs to see his doctor for respite care.
