Hi
going through a hard time. My husband was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer 5 years ago. Hormone thetspy didn’t work and it gradually spread to his brain. In January, he had a seizure and luckily was givrn olaparib due his dna. Since then he is a different person: angry, no patience and belittling me and alienating our children against me. I understand the difficulty, pain and uncertainty he is going through. I feel guilt for feeling detached from him and I feel lonely dealing with it. And I don’t know what to do to help the situation.
