Found out the worst news. I need your help?
A couple of days ago, I found out that I was dying with stomach cancer and I only have a month to live. I have come to terms with my fate and I have accepted it, but I just don't know how to tell my boyfriend. We've been together for 4 years and we love each other very much, and the thought of having to tell him this just kills me inside. It seems like our relationship will have been for nothing when I go. I'm afraid if I tell him, our last weeks together will be filled worry and that's not something that I want. I just don't know what to do anymore. Your advice would be much appreciated, and if you have anything mean to say, please don't, I just can't take it.
Well with you being a nurse you should know this:
Early-stage stomach cancer rarely causes symptoms. This is one of the reasons.why stomach cancer is so hard to detect early. The signs and symptoms of stomach cancer can include:
-unintended weight loss and lack of appetite
-abdominal pain
-vague discomfort in the abdomen, usually above the navel
-a sense of fullness in the upper abdomen after eating a small meal
-heartburn, indigestion, or ulcer-type symptoms
-nausea
-vomiting, with or without blood
-swelling or fluid build-up in the abdomen.
Most of these symptoms are more likely to occur with non-cancerous conditions, such as a stomach virus.
But if you want to believe I'm trolling, then you can go right ahead and do that.

I don't think there is anything I can say that can help make what you are going through any better so all I will say is I am sorry and I wish you and your boyfriend the very best of the time you have left together.
Although I know you may well be trying to protect your boyfriend the best thing you can do is tell him the truth and to do so as soon as possible. The last thing you will want is for him to find out when it's too late and he wishing he had said or done this and that before you left. I don't think he will think the 4 years of you both being together will have been for nothing, not at all. I can say that with certainty because you love each other. How you tell him will be something you know best as you know him better than anyone but I think it will be a good idea to tell him very soon. It will be a shock to him that is no doubt and he will have a hard time accepting it but at least he will have that month he can spend with you. In his place I would hate myself if I found out too late because that whole time I'm working or doing other things thinking I have all the time in the world, I could have spent be their side instead and with them making the most of the time left.

I don't have an answer, but I have an opinion.
But first of all I'm happy you are strong and have come to terms with it, I don't know if I would have the same strength. A true role model.
I believe if my girlfriend was dying, who I love very much, I would want her to tell me. Imagine the shock of losing someone suddenly and the confusion he might have because you did not tell him.
Once you both have come to terms you can both live life to the fullest because some people really do not even really LIVE A DAY OF THEIR LIFE. Now you both would have enjoyed more true times together than most people. Be happy together and don't count the days, but live for the effin moment. You guys are a couple and couples do things together. At least that's what I believe.
~To the best~

I'm sorry but I smell troll. GI Ca? and your biggest worry ATM is how to break it to your bf? You would have had symptoms that he would have noticed. I'm so sorry if you are telling the truth but I am I little skeptical. I have cared for Ca patients and in the last four weeks of life they are chronically unwell and generally on bed rest.
Sorry hun but not buying it
If it is true however you need to inform him (assuming he has not already noticed your ailing health)
Am full aware of GI Ca symptoms hun. Not attacking you saying I don't quite buy it. Your boyfriend has not noticed these symptoms?.......And End stage Ca usually results in bed rest unless you are an exceptional case.

You've been dating him for 4 years, he has a right to know. If he truly loves you he'll spend the next month trying to make it the best month of your life.
Im sorry for your condition though that sucks :(
