Welcome to the forum, Judith-anne.

I’m sorry to hear about everything your family is going through right now. It’s completely understandable that you’ve been coping as best you can with your husband’s prostate cancer and then suddenly being faced with your son’s diagnosis.

It’s reassuring to hear that your son’s cancer has been caught early and is considered curable. That must bring some relief in the midst of everything, even though it doesn’t make things any less scary for you. It also sounds like your husband is having to make some very difficult decisions about his treatment and quality of life - that’s never easy, and it’s normal to feel anxious while waiting to see what comes next.

Being part of a group like this can really help as you’ll find others who understand what it’s like to support loved ones through cancer, and who can share their experiences and coping strategies. Please know you don’t have to face this alone, and it’s okay to reach out for support for yourself as well as for your family.

Take things gently with yourself, one day at a time, and try to lean on those around you when you can.

All the best to you and your family,

Renata, Cancer Chat Moderator
