11 years in following my diagnosis for prostate cancer. Radio, ADT, hormone, chemo treatments and I'm still alive although it has metastasised into my liver. But these last few months I am finding myself increasingly angry with everything. I know it's affecting my relationship with my partner but I don't seem to be able to get it under control. Has anyone else experienced this?
Hello TimR123
Thank you for your post - Thankfully it's something I haven't experienced BUT it's a topic I have talked about. Don't forget I am not medically trained but your feelings of anger may well be caused or related to "survivor's guilt".
You have battled with Prostate Cancer for 10 years and during that time you have managed to control the cancer and continued to live a good life and just when you thought you had everything under control - boom - it's gone "walkabout" and ended up in your liver too.
Here's a link you may find of help:
I may be wrong and no doubt others will be along with a different answer.
I hope this helps and if I can do anything else for you please do get back to me.
Best wishes - Brian.
