I don't know your T.
Thank God I am not in your situatio :-(
But if it were my T.
Well, I know she has good support. Good hubby, church family, her own T, the T's in the practice, etc.
When she has had bad stuff happen, i want to save her, but i know I can't. Cuz therapy is to help me cope, not her. She got her own supports. She is my support.
She tells me stuff from her life cuz its real and I can learn from it.
She also knows if she says nothing, I will know something is going on, and then I'll proly blame myself.
So, IMO, honesty is proly best. I think its proly just fine to discuss your fears of the cancer as if affects YOU.
There's no point tippy toeing around the subject, cuz it is now HUGE in your T's life, and its going to affect her work. And I think the kindest thing you could do for her is to be open and honest.
But thats if it was my T.
I don't know your T.
Hope thiongs go ok.
Its terrible.
