How do I keep my relationship strong during lymphoma treatment?

I was diagnosed with B-cell lymphoma in May, and I've been thinking about how this has affected my relationship with my partner. We're both adjusting to new roles - me as the patient and them as my caregiver. I read about how couples sometimes try to protect each other from their fears and worries, which can actually create more distance. The article mentioned strategies like setting aside cancer-free time together and being more open about what we're really feeling. I'd love to hear from others who've navigated relationships during lymphoma treatment: • How did you and your partner handle the role changes that came with your diagnosis? • What helped you stay connected as a couple during treatment?
