I have cancer. I tell people (and myself) that I don’t want my boyfriend to have to go through this with me. I’m more selfish and scared than that. I’m worried that me being sick and depressed and no fun will drive him away, and that I should just leave him now to avoid being completely crushed. Truth is, my worrying about it will probably scare him away anyways. I feel like I don’t deserve someone so great and supportive.
