Prostate Cancer and relationship struggles. Anyone else?

Helo 

My husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer 3 months ago. 

Op for radical robotic prostatectomy this week. 

Last night tensions were high and we had an enormous row. Things said that shouldn't have been 

I feel so bad now for losing it. We both started crying. 

Any one else felt angry and rowed I feel unusual to have a shout up about it all.

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat KattyB although I'm sorry to hear about the argument you and your husband had a few nights ago.

    A cancer diagnosis can bring about a lot of thoughts and feelings, not just for the person who has been diagnosed but those closest to them as well so it's only natural that emotions will be running high at times so try not to be too hard on yourself for what happened. 

    I hope it helps to know that many of our members have experienced this too, so you are not alone and hopefully you will receive some support and advice from them soon.

    Supporting someone with cancer can be very tough but I do hope things are better now since you made this post.

    If either of you would like to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses, you can contact them on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very supportive and will do all they can to help.

    Kind regards,
