Unable to cope with husbands results

My husband received his results on Tuesday 4th and since it's actually been confirmed by the urologists I have done nothing but cry. I am feeling like I'm not coping with the news keep thinking why him? Why us? Having to be strong for others is draining, I'm not sleeping well but i haven't been for a long time.

My brain actually hurts with over thinking and I can't switch it off

  • Hi. Yes I know exactly how you feel. My husband is older,(very youthful 80) and has had a very rough few years  horrific RTA with extensive reconstructive surgery  then 4 months later tonsil cancer ( now in remission).  He has no symptoms of prostate cancer at all, just a slowly rising PSA  now 12.  Just had MRI and awaiting result, though got a call yesterday for appointment for biopsy, ( no explanation for this or any discussion of MRI result).  I think I'm more stressed than my husband seems to be!   Certainly not sleeping and trying to keep upbeat for the family. Unless you have been in this position, nobody understands- which is where this forum helps.  

  • Hello ladies, I also know my husband is just at the stage of getting tests done, to be honest I am freaked out, he was telling our GP for  a long time he is having problems with his bladder, then a few weeks ago he was very unwell UTI so the dr said, my husband is 74 and I have seen a decline in him recently, while he was ill he completely lost control of his bladder, I insisted we see a urologist privately if the NHS were not prepared to listen.

    this week on Monday the urologist put a camera into his blader all looks fine, but his prostate gland is enlarged and hard in places, he had a CT scan yesterday he is having his blood done to check levels next week, I am beside myself with worry I am very concerned there is something in his prostate it's very difficult, I think you are very brave
