Hello Suzie801,

Your husband is certainly very lucky to have such a supportive partner by his side, someone who will be there for him every step of the way. I am sure this will really help him face his operation knowing that he is very much loved and supported. And as you say, humour always keeps us going and with your humour and your love he has nothing to fear. 

Not long to wait now until the 25th of September I hope his operation goes well. I don't want to bombard you with information, but I thought I'd share this link about the prostatectomy surgery even though I am sure you are already well-informed about it.

Meeting other couples going through the same must have been a reassuring experience. It's always nice to feel that we are not alone, that others are about to have the same operation and treatment. I hope you will also meet others on this forum who are in a similar place at the moment.

What a lovely idea to be taking your husband away before the operation. Is it a surprise trip or does he know the destination? It will be a great time for you to be together and as you say for him to be in the best place mentally and physically before the surgery.

If you have time in the coming weeks and months, do pop back here and let us know how the operation goes.

Best wishes,

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
