    my boyfriend was diagnosed with lukemia last year. his mom died of lung cancer four years ago when he was fourteen and his dad also has lung cancer. fourtuantly his dad and him were in a remission but yesturday he found out his dads cancer has come back in the fourth stage and has also spread to his liver. my boyfriend has been a mess and i can see no reason to blame him. his mom already died, his dad is dying, and there is a good chance that one day his cancer will come back too. i couldnt imagine having to live without my parents. and i cant even imagine what hes going through. i try to tell him to be optimstic and let him know im here for him but i feel its just not enough. i wish there was something i could do... but i dont know... i guess there really isnt anything i can do except offer my support and be a shoulder to cry on... i have no clue... his sister is the only one in their family who hasnt gotten cancer and i cant imagine how she feels either. its so horrible. i dont know what to do. i love this family as much as i love my own. and i dont know how to talk about it to my boyfriend. im afraid i'll say the wrong thing or that i wont be able to help him get through this... i love him and his family with all my heart... but what can i do? how can i talk to him about this?

    first off, god bless him and his family
    secondly, tell him this: "No matter what happens, I'm always going to be here for you. If you want to talk, I'll be your ears." Do NOT pressure him. He is probably having a bad time with all this, but if you let him know that you are here for him and that you respect him if he chooses not to open up, then he might just talk to you himself.

    You can help him through by the simple act of loving him, being there when he needs you and showing him you care with all your heart.
    I'm so sorry that people have to go through this kind of thing and i hope that you two get through this.

    i'll say like gemma, the only way to help him trough is just loving him and beeing there for him... my boyfriends mom as breast cancer and it really hurts him to but im always there for him, if he talks about it i let him dump it all out, sometimes i want to cry because i love his family to and he loves me just as much as i love him so i guess all i can say is that if you want to help im so much just be there for him be the doors to his freedom! bless his family, i hope they both get better!

    The most simple way to help him thru is to give him yur unconditional love . Let him know that yu` care and that yu`ll always be there , that if he ever wants to talk or justl et everything out , yur there . Don`t pressure him or anythin` like that one person seyd . But basically, that`s all yu kan do .
    But God bles shim, and I hope they both get better .
