I lost my fiance and gained a patient. I want to cherish every moment we have together n I thought he'd feel the same, but instead he throws pills at me and demands what he needs. I've had to set some boundaries.

Cancer can bring out unexpected emotions and behaviors in both patients and caregivers, and setting boundaries while navigating this challenging time shows incredible strength and wisdom. Many people in similar situations find that open communication about these changes, sometimes with professional support, can help rebuild connection while maintaining the healthy limits that protect everyone's wellbeing.
