It's 1:50 in the morning. My lifepartner is in bed and we have been told he has cancer. It's in his nostrils and roof of his mouth. We got the news about 2 weeks ago. His situation is more complex than most others ashe is battling HIV as well. My health is good (no HIV no Cancer). I am trying to break down the bills to the bare minimum so I can let him wuit his job. He needs to or the government can't/won't help him. The doctors said that if the cancer makes it to his lymphnodes (sp?)he is a dead man. I'm scared. I'm trying to be strong for him. alot of times i just hide in a book or one of my video games. how can Ido this?
