It's something that my mother in law has a really hard time dealing with (my husband is one who prefers to be left alone). She doesn't live nearby but is texting him daily, with lots of support messages and loving emojis which drive him crazy (I mean, he's 53...). I've totally accepted his wanting to be left alone; I drop him off at chemo, pick him up when it's over. We don't talk about his cancer much (if at all), per his choice. Which is why this forum is very important, as it provides me with an outlet...
