Hi
I guess I am looking to put our minds at rest and I wondered whether anyone can help after the wonderful and encouraging words you guys have provided already.
It is hard to put into words, but my poor husband felt "funny" earlier and started panicking that this was the start of the end.
His head felt funny and his nose was all blocked up and he really gave himself a scare I think. I tried to reason with him that surely PCa wouldn't just cause him to "drop" suddenly?
He shared his fears and it seems like every time he feels anything going on in his body, he thinks it is the beginning of the end. I suggested that we ask the oncologist at our first appointment on 2nd August if there are any particular worrying signs that we should be aware of that would necessitate going to hospital or anything like that? Is this right do you think, or is anyone aware of what we should look out for?
I am sorry if this seems like a silly question, but I am bereft and just want to help him see or realise what we do and don't need to look out for? It is all still so new and raw just now.
I am sure that when we are further into treatment and we can see it working (hopefully), our panic will settle somewhat and we can look forward to living on this new path.
Thank you for reading.
