We got the test results back yesterday. He’s been given nine months to live. Any advice on how to get through this? We’ve been together for seven years now.
My partner has been diagnosed with Somers-Farkas Syndrome

I know nothing about this disease.
I’m so sorry for your tribulations.
I wish you both the best.
I’m happy for your love for each other.

Is he experiencing loss of appetite and/or acute hyperpigmentation?

Is that another way of saying he's had too much summer fucking and is going to die from anus overactis?

I’m so sorry for this diagnosis. My BFF lost his partner to a rare disease/doctors mishandling after 32 years together. He refuses grief counseling so he’s been drinking nightly and hitting the bars where he met a literal kid who is now using him for money , playing off his fragile emotional state. Please see a therapist as you’re going to be the caregiver as his health fails. Get yourself mentally prepared now to handle the immense loss of life you’ll experience. You can properly grieve him when you’re prepared. Then a 23 year old mentally ill violent hood rat won’t prey upon you and fleece you for money while simultaneously making veiled violent threats to scare you into staying.

If he ever suffers from the vapours, a good knuckle-rub to the sternum should revive him.
