It’s been 3 years since his initial diagnosis and last November he had nerve sparing robotic assisted radical prostatectomy. My husband is 53 and surgery was recommended but he’s devastated by the side effects. Having prostate cancer devastated him but now he’s really struggling with the (hopefully temporary) consequences. Mostly I am upbeat and strong and I am his rock. I love him, but this week he was caught off guard by a man in the pub over hearing his conversation with friends and telling him he also had prostate cancer but there was no way he’d let anyone remove it. This has let to a week of my husband questioning his decision. I’ve found it hard to be his rock this week.
