Husband with prostate cancer

Husband has prostate cancer, he was diagnosed 3yrs ago and had radiotherapy and is in hormone injections but find he is a nightmare to live with , I think he is depressed but will never admit it, He keeps on saying I don’t know what he is going through? If only he knew,

  • Hi there ...

    So sorry your going through a tough time ... but you know, he's right ... everyone can empathise.. and think they understand what having cancer is like, but untill you get it .. you can't know ... it's a club wer all in .. and that's why lots of us come on here .. because we know ... 

    When you here that word ... it's a feeling you can't even imagine .. the word future takes on a completely different meaning ... every day something could change .. nothing is ever normal again ... and we change a little .. some things better some worse .. or a mixture of both ..

    Now saying that... even cancer is no excuse to take it out on loved ones ... I think you both need to LISTEN to each other ... you need to tell him how you feel, and how hard caring for someone with cancer is like ... and you to LISTEN to him ... both without interrupting ... because you can both walk this journey hand in hand or walk in different directions ... sending you both a vertual hug ...
