My husband has bowel cancer - he has become nasty with violent shouting outbursts. Has anyone else had to deal with this?

He was diagnosed with rectal cancer 13 mths ago.....he refuses to discuss this with me,now he is having chemopathy weekly.....he has become nasty with violent shouting outbursts.....am scared of these outbursts,even the dog fears him.

Has anyone else had to deal with these outbursts.....have reported the situation to his cancer team who spoke to him months back sadly he has become worse.....he does apologise then all goes well for a few days,then something trival upsets him then the shouting begins.
