keeping relationship through leukemia treatment Posted: 03-16-08 01:11am


I am new to this site, but I thought i'd give it a try. My girlfriend and I have been dating for a few months and everything is going well. She told me she has leukemia about 2 months ago so i'm not too freaked out about it anymore. But, recently she told me it's getting worse and that she is going to have to stay in the hospital soon for therapy because it will be hard for her to do certain things. I'm also going to college in a few months only about an hour away but she will be staying home. What I want to know is ..should i stay with her and try to let us work? or will she be in too much pain and have too many problems to worry about me?

Hi and welcome to ehealthforum! Posted: 03-19-08 04:56am


Being with your girlfriend through this, can make your relationship even stronger. One hour distance can't ruin love, but, ...are you sure you love her enough to share with her all the though moments leukemia can bring? I know it is hard for you, but, only you know the answer of your question: should i stay with her and try to let us work? What type of leukemia she has? Best wishes for you and your girlfriend!
