My girlfriend told me this weekend that her blood analysis came back. She’s only in het thirties and a cancer survivor; she had tumor 3 years ago, they took care of that (removed it, been treated for a year, didn’t spread). Fast forward to today, the day she had to consult her doctor about the analysis. The doctor said that the LHD levels and tumor markers are higher. At her previous analysis about 4 months ago (she gets tested almost every 3 months), everything was still okay.
I wasn't there 3 years ago, so everything she told me today was very unclear to me. Also because I haven't been confronted with something like this before. I don’t know anything about cancer and the markers and I keep having these thoughts that I’m gonna lose her. The realist in me says it’s fine because of the early detection with the tests. I have no idea how to act in public, it seems like I can break down any minute even though she hasn’t been “officially” diagnosed yet.
