Whitevanman66 please ring someone, Macmillan Samaritans, a close friend anyone you trust.

Whitevanman66 I hope you’ve been able to speak to someone, I spoke to my gp and also consultant at hospital,  I would urge you to contact GP.  They have been ever so supportive. We’ve gone through so much, often it’s the psychological that catches up after the initial treatment.

I don’t know how long you’ve been married or what your relationship was like before cancer, our. Partners often go through the mill as well. I hope that she is struggling to adjust

Hi

You came on here for a reason, so it’s obvious you you want to talk about the situation. 
first are you clear of your cancer ? Or are you still taking medication for it ?

second how long have you had the cancer ? Do you still have blood tests ?

third has your wife spoken to anyone as regards cancer and how it affects people ?

I have incurable PC have had for over four years and diabetes type 2 plus a jumble of other things, myself and my wife find that it is what it is, so the the time we use the C word is my appointments. 
Before the COVID did you two go out walks, pub, meals ? With being locked in a house together it’s not easy, you’ve heard this many times you just take each day as it comes, forget the cancer focus on other things, me I write books or do puzzles, cook anything different try it.

take care look to how things were before you got the cancer, the only thing that’s changed is medication.

stay safe

Joe

If you have a Maggies Centre near you please call them - also call The wonderful spcialist nurses on ProstateCancerUK Its a free phone number 0800 074 8383.  they are open during normal office hours Mon-Fri - 9 to 5  and I believe open until 8pm on a Wednesday.  If they are unable to help they will be able to point you in the right direction.

Also feel free to rant and rave on her  this is what the community is for. Many strangers who provide supporr because they've been through similar 

Those strangers often become confidants close friends because you can share your inner feelings thoughts without the risk of it getting back to those close to home

This group are rather than strangers are friends you never knew you had, friends you can share everything with you
