The first thing that you need to do is evaluate your self . You need to evaluate how strong is your attachment towards your partner. You need to analyze how would you respond in the worst of situations. Self evaluation may lead you to realize that you a very strong attachment with the person or you are not sure of your feelings for this person.

In case you are not sure of the intensity of your feelings towards your partner, then once again it is better to stay in the relationship rather than call it quits. In such a situation, a suggestion that we can give is to take on the role of a good friend rather than looking forward to a romance. You can continue to be around your partner without being under a pressure to be constantly with your partner.

Take time to evaluate your feelings and understand how much do you want to commit in this relationship. Once you have evaluated your feelings and are well aware of them, communicate them to your partner irrespective of the fact what they are. Even if you decide to call it quits, it is important to communicate.

“just remember, how would you feel if you suffered from such a condition and your partner left you, when you needed him/her the most”

What would be your partners reaction?

In case your decision is not to continue in the relationship and you have just been a few weeks in the relationship, your partner would probably understand your stance. I am sure even your partner would not like you to commit to  a relationship unless you want to. If you have been in a relationship for long, you might have to face a multitude of emotions, the most obvious being anger. A shallow commitment will anger anyone.

Just remember –

First, cancer is unpredictable, this means that your partner can recover with the right treatment.

Second, your partner did not opt for the disease and the problems associated with it.

Third, take it just as any other phase of life, it comes and goes, after all what is life worth except for the strong emotional bonds that tie us all, we are humans not dead chemical material (I didnt use the word animals, as most authors do, as animals are far more dedicated)
