My husband has just been told his prostate cancer which was diagnosed over 3 years ago and has now spread to his liver, We are waiting for a meeting with the Oncologist to find out the stage of cancer and what treatments are available, He is not well at all, tired, not fancying food, even though he is trying to eat to keep strong. It breaks my heart to see him going through all this and I don't know how to help, He says I fuss to much and he wants me leave him alone, when he was first diagnosed he was lovely and caring, I know deep down he is scared, I just want to let it all out with tears, but I must keep strong for him, Thanks for listening
Hi Beniboy 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 just discovered that his prostate cancer has spread to his liver, and this must be an incredibly hard time for you both. Hopefully you'll both feel better once you've had the meeting with your husband's oncologist and you find out what the proposed treatment plan is.
As you know the online community is divided up into different support groups, so I hope you don't mind me suggesting that you also join the carers only group where you can share your worries and emotions with others who are looking after someone with cancer. You can also find out what hints they have for encouraging people to eat.

When you feel up to it, it would be great if you could pop something about your husband's diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'.
