[quote=Anonymous]This is a very serious diagnosis; my relative lived 18 months, which is about average. There are some outliers, and I hope your BF is one if them, but it’s very rare. I’m so very sorry, OP. I’m sure he’s digesting it and does not know what to do, either. Just follow his cues for now; he will be in the midst of treatment soon and there will be no way to maintain “matter of fact.” Do you love him? Do you want to be his caregiver? Would you want to marry him before he passes? Do some soul-searching to figure out what you’re willing to do, what your comfort level is, etc. And then follow his cues. He may be open about his prognosis or remain positive and embrace treatment with hope, and you will need to respect his process. But if he brings up marriage, you will have to have a very real conversation. You have to be true to yourself too. What a tragic situation, my heart goes out to you both. Sending love.[/quote]
