<human>: I already posted this once, but typed it terribly and forgot a lot. Giving it another shot, but still on mobile so forgive me. 

My boyfriend and I originally met online, but have spent most of the past four years together irl. We have spoken every single day since we met, and skype constantly when we are apart. He is from the UK and I am from America. 

I am currently living in the UK with him, but will be moving home to spend my last year with family. I haven't told anyone of my diagnosis. 

My issue comes in what and how to tell my boyfriend. If I tell him I am almost certain he will move home with me, postponing his university and essentially robbing him of a year. 

I know this will ultimately be his choice, but any advice on how to tell him or what to do would be so very appreciated. My first thought was to break up with him and ghost him, maybe send him a letter when I'm about to go but that would be fucking terrible so please help me.

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
<bot>: I've got a year left to live, looking for advice on how to tell my LDR and how we should figure the living situation for the next year.
