DH & stage 4 cancer

Evening :). I had a thread on here almost a year ago & chatted with some lovely posters about DH & his sudden incurable (prostate) cancer diagnosis. He finished chemo in October & was feeling really well with the ongoing hormone treatment.
Today we’ve seen his consultant who has advised that it is back Sad. A bone scan to follow & then the 2nd line of treatment. It’s back so quickly! I read of other men keeping it at bay for years & I’m so angry that this isn’t the case for him.

He is being very practical & has declined more chemo for now in favour of a different less invasive drug. We / he feel very strongly that we want a summer of holidays & fun with our children. Come August he’ll offer himself up for anything! His doctors agree with this which is reassuring & terrifying all at the same time.

Anyway I just needed to write it down I think as feeling incredibly sad & lonely. Despite being in a full house of husband & kids.

I'm sorry lass. I hope it all goes as well as it can and that you all have the most excellent summer.

Thank you. He just feels so well - which is good I know & he should enjoy it whilst it lasts.
I guess we will just keep on keeping on!

DH is home tonight after being away with work. He called to say how well he was feeling & how we were to have a normal weekend. I went to work today & enjoyed the distraction although I can feel the emotion is never far away.

I still can’t believe this is our life & to know this Godawful disease is fighting back already is devastating.
