Hello AFLMF

Welcome to the forum although I'm sorry to hear about your husband's diagnosis. It's obviously a very difficult time for you both at the moment and so whilst I'm sure other community members will stop by to say Hello and introduce themselves, I wanted to reply to give you some links that may be helpful. 

We have some information about prostate cancer on our website that you may find helpful. I also wanted to let you know about this thread that Seaharbour recently posted. Her husband is also living with a diagnosis of advanced prostate cancer. I'm going to tag in eddiel to my reply as well. Eddie has been living with advanced prostate cancer now for nearly 2 years. I'm sure he will pop along to offer some support but you can read more about his journey by clicking on his name tag. 

The next few days and weeks will undoubtedly feel overwhelming for both of you. Know that the Cancer Chat community is here to listen and offer any support that we can. If it would help to talk to one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to offer any advice, information and support they can. 

I hope this helps AFLMF. Keep in touch and let us know how you're both managing. 

Best wishes,

Thank you Jenn

It's terrifying

It can be absolutely terrifying AFLMF, particularly in the first few days and weeks. 

Please try to avoid spending too much time online researching things as that will leave you feeling even more worried. 

Hopefully the sun is shining wherever you and your husband are this evening. Take the opportunity to get out for a walk to enjoy the sunshine and fresh air, and clear your head a little. Maybe sit in the garden with a cuppa, or something else if that takes your fancy. 

You will hopefully soon find your feet again and move forward with this one step at a time. 

Best wishes,
