General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi Sylvia, acute leukemia is a type of cancer wherein blood cells are produced in large numbers. But many of these type of cancers are treatable and most of them who suffer lead a normal life.
This condition has nothing to do with your sexual relationship. Both of you can lead a healthy life and it does not transmit from one individual to another.
I feel he needs more support from you, both physically and emotionally, which would help both of you lead a good life.
I find this answer helpful
