Hi there,

Welcome to Cancer Chat. This sounds like a tough situation and I can understand it being hurtful.

It can be hard to explain and understand these things, only to say that often those going through treatment can react in certain emotional ways that can be difficult to take for those around them. Although it doesn't feel like it, it may be that he is trying to protect loved ones around him by limiting contact - perhaps because of struggling to deal with emotions, or to reduce the worries for those around him too.

Hopefully this will gradually improve and you can see him more regularly again. If you're worried about this, try to speak to him about how you feel. If this is difficult in person or over the phone, you could perhaps write a letter.

Hopefully you will also receive some more replies here soon, and I hope that the forum can be helpful for you.

Wishing you all the best,

Ben
