ummmm.not sure what title to add but need a general input

Hello!I am new here but have been following some posts for quite a while now.
So my cancerian ex and I have been good friends ever since we brokeup .Been 8 months now. There's family financial issue in his side now so he' been too emotionally withdrawn so we hardly spoke fr months now. I was recently diagnosed with a bad disease and that could be life threatening if it gets too bad. He got to know about it from my friend last night.He called me and inquired.He has been connected to me since last night asking me how am i feeling,about my test reports and everything and reassures me that everything will be fine.He also asked my best friend to keep him updated about me But when i was about to ask him about something which was about our relationship,he said "It will spoil your mood.And for a change,let's not turn back old pages. It's not good for the ride ahead".
Not sure what he exactly meant by that but when I kissed him,he kissed me back without any hesitation.Also,he said he'd be coming to visit me today.He knows I still love him very much though.
Any general thoughts about this? I have heard that cancerians are caring in general but does it seem at all that this guy still has feelings for me ?

First of all I am very sorry about your diagnosis.

You loved each other - and broke up. I think eight months is pretty solid to figure that you weren't going to get back together.

Of course he still cares about you - maybe still loves you, but in a different way now - and is now worried bout you and wants you to be okay. His reply to your question was simply that he doesn't want to talk about your relationship. He wants to focus on what is happening with you now.

It's great he's going to see you today. Maybe the kiss muddied things up a bit (I guess it depends what kind of kiss. Just quickly on the lips or a passionate 'I miss you' liplock).

He may end up by your side through this whole thing. You do need to focus on your health, obviously. So if he's there with you, even if you don't get back together, that still speaks volumes about what kind of man he is.

oh no..i am sorry if i gave a wrong impression. We didnt kiss in person.It was when we were talking on phone. He bailed out on the meet.Didnt visit me. Said that something came up. He has his exams going on every alternate day though. He does text me asking how am i and about my reports and stuff but i wish he called instead of just texting. I don't know what I mean to him or what he sees me as.
