Hi, I’m new to this so here goes. The love of my life is coming to the end of of his Cancer journey. He got the diagnosis 7 1/2 years ago from the hospital after repeated visits for more than 2 years to his ‘GP’ telling him he was imagining his symptoms, it was his age and it was all in his head. As a result of the GP’s incompetence my husband was diagnosed with Stage 4 Prostate Cancer. Our hearts have been broken ever since. Recently I have found it increasingly difficult to cope with his illness as it progresses. I don’t have any close family or friends to turn to or anyone I can truly confide in. When he’s in pain I feel hopeless that I can’t help him and I’m the last week or so he is becoming increasingly confused to the point that he’s trying to go out of the house naked, urinate and deficate in the lounge. When he talks he’s not making any sense. I find this so upsetting and wondered if there was anything I could do about it. Please help me I’m really struggling.
Hi CJMM and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm sorry to read that your husband has advanced prostate cancer and it sounds like you're both going through an incredibly difficult time.
