How to help?

Thank you for that I’ve been round and cleaned all his house for him while he’s away and stocked his freezer with home cooked meals so will be easier for him if he hasn’t the strength to cook or clean and he lands from America on Tuesday and biopsy Wednesday 

Thank you I’ve wrote a list of questions I need to ask and I’ll add my friends to it once he’s home will definitely be back once we get the diagnosis 

Hello Friendcarer 

A little premature but this - Questions to ask your Healthcare Team. might help.

Best wishes - Brian.

Thank you for this information 

Hi Friendcarer,

He's very lucky to have friends like you & your husband alongside him for this journey & brilliant that he will have someone with him when he goes for his biopsy for support.

You mention that he is not very good at listening or doing as he is told - is that normal behaviour for him or is it possibly the case that at the moment he is burying his head in the sand?  Whilst this is entirely understandable initially (I know I can do it & hope things will go away), there does come a time when we have to take responsibility for ourselves (with the support of others).

Are his family aware yet or is he waiting until something more definite is known?

Best Wishes

Sorry only just seen this he’s typically not the kind to do as he’s told his family are aware he got his formal diagnosis today and it’s prostate cancer 

Hello Friendcarer,

Sorry to read that your friend has had to join the prostate cancer club and now it's a case of being there to support him on his treatment journey.

I see that you have opened a new discussion and already received some excellent replies from others in the group so will follow the journey there.

A couple of things to remember are that there is no such thing as a stupid question & to make sure you & your husband look after yourselves.

Best Wishes

Brian
