  • My husband was diagnosed with prostrate cancer 10years ago at the age of 70. He started on hormone therapy, hot flushes - I did say welcome to my world! During the 37 radiotherapy sessions he had, we met with three other couples who were going through the same thing. We are still in touch and speak, or meet up frequently. The support the 4 men have provided each other with has been great. A few hiccups on the way, nothing the hospital team didn’t sort out quickly and easily, but apart from getting tired all went well. I hope everything goes well for you.
