partner - prostrate cancer spread to bone and lymph node

My partner of almost 2 yrs was in remission after radical treatment to prostrate (before we met). Recent Increase PSA lest to pet scan where it is now in lower pelvis and lymph node.

I'm devastated, and feel selfish. He's just plodding on regardless. 

 

Why do I feel like I'm robbed of my future with this wonderful man whom  I met so late in life .

So many stories here , you guys are amazing 

 

  • Hello Lisag123

    I'm sorry to hear that your partner's recent tests have shown that his prostate cancer has returned. It's perfectly understandable that you're feeling devastated. 

    I'm going to tag in one of our members [@Billygoatt]‍ who I'm sure will pop along to say hello when he gets a chance. Billy has been living with advanced prostate cancer for nearly 7 years now and cares for his wife full-time. If you click on his name you'll be able to read a little about his story. 

    I'd also suggest you give our nurses a call when you get a chance. It really does help to talk things through and I'm sure they'll be happy to offer any support and reassurance they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm. 

    I know this is a difficult time for you both Lisa. Keep in touch and let us know how you're getting on. 

    Best wishes,
