Rare prostate cancer

Good morning Jorjigirl . I am not trying to be insensitive but can you tell us whether your husband has just died or whether you are having a problem coping with the diagnosis. I have had to deal with a husband dying unexpectedly at a young age and my current husband also has a rare aggressive form of prostate cancer which is incurable but treatable for now.

I have checked on your posts and see that you have been given advice on where to get help but if you could give us a little more information then we will do our best to help you here with our experiences.

Hello Jorjigirl 

I am so sorry to read your post and offer my sincere condolences at this sad time. We do have a group you may find to be of help and here's the link:

Bereaved spouses and partners forum 

Remember too the Support Line on 0808 808 00 00 (8am to 8pm 7 days a week) is there for you too. If I can do anything else for you please do let me know.

Kind Regards - Brian.

My husband died March 22, he first went to the doctors at the beginning of November and had PSA test but started passing blood before the second test-we were told it was cancer in between Christmas and new year, PET scan carried out, saw oncologist 18th Feb and my husband was told to put his affairs in order as he has about two months! It was extremely hard to see a fit man who was working full time doing lots of cycling and spinning classes to go from this to a man in so much pain and his body wasting away -from symptoms to death in less than five months!
I hope this is enough detail-thank you  

I am so sorry Jorjigirl and my sincere condolences. I hope you have someone with you to help with the formalities at the moment. The daytimes are initially a whirl but it was the nights I found difficult. Distraction was the way I coped by keeping myself busy. I was still working at the time but I also joined in activities that had gone by the board over the years. I found that people were afraid to talk about my husband for fear of upsetting me but once I initiated the conversation then we were able to reminisce and keep him alive. It takes time but we adjust because we have no other option. If you need to talk to someone then there are organisations which can help so ask for it.

Hello Jorjigirl , please accept my sincere condolences at this sad time.  Our thoughts are with you and I hope you are able to use the contacts that Brian (Millibob ) has provided, should you need them.  David
