Others have given wise counsel as why that may be. Cancer can be very isolating. He's been thrown into a strange world and likely doesn't want to be a burden or even to be taken care of.

It's good to hear that he allows some communication via texting. I know it is hard that you always have to be the person who initiates the text conversation. I might suggest (from my experience with a teenager) to not only text with a question. Text sometimes just to say "I'm thinking of you." or something non-cancer related, like "The sun is shining today and I really enjoed drinking my tea while watching the birds at the feeder." or something that you like together. Obviously, I don't know if you drink tea or if he like birds. 🙂 So use your own words.

Kay, do you find yourself texting with questions to him or do you also share what you're doing or thinking?
