Hi advice again please My hubby seems confused thugs that would never worry him is and it’s as if his personality has changed he’s not got a infection would you say it’s the treatment he’s had  Butterfly thanks in advance again Chris what do you think ray  

  • Good evening deebo , I think some of it could be that you both have been used to going to appointments , surgery , radiotherapy etc and now you are left on your own to cope with the after effects. It could also be side effects from any drugs he is taking ( if any ) My personality changed after and it was quite noticeable and I strongly believe it is just the treatment that causes this . How long ago did he have his last check up as it might be worth mentioning to them if he does not improve . Best wishes .

  • Just a thought but would he be depressed, it appears to be quite common among people having had this treatment, if by chance he has try to get him to see if his GP can help him.

  • Hi Deebo the treatment is harsh and brutal as I know from 35 rads and chemotherapy.the 6 week period after treatment finished we go from seeing several medical people daily in a bubble world to being at home free from the hospital but also free from the routine of hospital appointments often several in one day to all of a sudden nothing. He will be feeling tired lonely wondering has the treatment worked and no amount if what ifs  scenario s in his head. But like Ronnsays maybe a g p visit as although I didn’t get depressed it is quite common in our cancer .

    hope this helps  so you have access to a Macmillan nurse if so use her
