Hey all, looking for knowledge/experience/insights for a conversation I'll be having tonight with my girlfriend of 9 months. We met well into my cancer fight and she's been very supportive, incredible really to take on a new relationship with someone with stage 4 cancer.
Since we've been together my treatment plan ha been consistent bi-weekly FOLFIRI+Avastin, a couple hospitalizations for infections and delays from low counts thrown in of course.
I am going back to Mayo in a few weeks for scans and multiple consults to discuss a potential change in direction of my treatment. Possibly a very good thing.
She says she wants to come to these appointments. I'm comfortable having her there, am completely open about my disease, treatment, etc. But am still unsure if it's a good idea.
Would appreciate input on things we should discuss prior to making the decision. Thanks!
