This article strikes a very personal chord with me. My girlfriend of six months broke up with me without giving any apparent reason. After several months, I found out that she had discovered that she had tumor. Before she started on chemo, she decided to break up with me. The irony of the situation is that she won't really tell me what happened, and without violating her trust and respecting her privacy, and her choice to face this alone, I have no way of even finding out how she is doing. All I can do is silently hope that she would regain her health again.
