you said ((HE HAS HAD CANCER and it stops there. ))) Being from a family that has gone threw cancer it does not stop there. Lympnode glads are checked , because it was malignant he will have to be checked every 6 mths , then go to a year, till he reaches his 5 year mark. Its a very hard thing for everyone to go threw. Even when its caught early.
I would expect he can not cuddle right now due to pain from the surgery. Everything has to heal and things inside of him will move around so to speak,.
Im glad you are seeing your T today. Hope that goes well for you.
I know here there are cancer support groups that help both him and you.
I wish you all well.
