Continuing on the Cancer pathway.......a rocky road!

We thought my husband had seen the last of his prostrate cancer when he had a radical prostatectomy last year.  But no he still had a cancer ready...though very low.  Unfortunately this has started to increase again.  As there is no prostate to confine the cancer we are now having to embark on the pathway again.......he wants to put it to the back of his mind, which I fully understand I can't imagine how he feels having this in him.  I however want to scream and shout and rant and just feel helpless waiting for appointments...you see we might not have been in this position had the hospital not fogotten he was meant to be having a biopsy and so after Derek reminded them twice it happended 6 months later than planned, by which tim e the cancer had progressed further, having just broken out when he had the op.  This in my mind could have been prevented and I feel very annoyed that he has to go through this because of the delay in the biopsy........rant over :) 

  • Hi there  ... it's good to have a 'rant'  as bet there's times we've all felt like having a good scream ... life is unfair sometimes and I'm not excusing it but my heart goes out to the 'roller coaster cancer team ' who are stretched to the limits with more and more expected of them with no extra help ... we have 2 cancer care nurses who have to do so very much and on a couple of occasions they stayed later (unpaid) to fit me in when I had post op problem ..

    Hope you get the help you need now and fingers crossed for him ... big hug xx
