last year, my boyfriend was diagnosed with cancer at age 20. it turned my world upside down. I felt so lonely, it felt like no one understood the pain and fear I was feeling. I was searching online to find articles, forum posts, reddit threads, anything from anyone who had been through a similar situation at this age but couldn’t find anything relatable. not only was he going through chemotherapy, but we weren’t able to see each other more than maybe once a month due to his family not approving of our relationship. I honestly don’t know if there is anyone out there who has experienced this set of circumstances, but I want to put this out there for anyone who can relate to any part of our story. he’s now in remission, and is no longer living with his family, but the pain is still fresh. cancer is traumatizing enough on its own, no ones needs to be isolated from their partner when you need each other the most.

I just started this blog last night, and i don’t really know what it’ll turn into. I plan on posting all kinds of things on here, but my main inspiration is to have an outlet to write about my experience surrounding cancer. I’m hoping that some sort of community can form for those who are seeking it, like myself.
