It’s so tough!! Check out Teepa Snow Everything, she’s amazing! Sadly, this disease only progresses in one direction, I think being prepared and realistic is helpful, but very hard to do!! I’m so, so sorry!! 😞 I’m in the same boat, and also I’m having a hard time getting the doctors and his grown sons to believe me, so it’s really tough! My husband is a recovering addict. :(. Sending you healing ❤️‍🩹 blessings!! Find help early and if you have the money, living in a senior community with all levels of care, can really help you both live longer, happier lives. Blessings to you!!! ❤️🙏❤️🙏

Thank you for your kind words.
We don’t have any children so k am the caregiver and recently his blood work showed a big increase in jus PSA after a visit to the oncologist we were told his cancer is back after surgery and radiation. He is being put on ADT which will be keep the cancer from spreading. He has one pill for 14 days then a shot this will be on going for who knows how long. I haven’t mentioned the C word just that this a preventative measure. And life goes on, most of the time all is well. I just agree it makes life easier. I can’t see moving we both love it here and I think it would be stressful for him to get used to something new. Like you we will persevere. Thanks for your message. 😍
