Has Anyone Elected for No Treatment?

My husband at first was ready to say NO and die, it was his MANHOOD!
Lots of arguments over weeks, I have holes in my walls because I threw at chair at night screaming in the dark and being angry!
Now the attitudes have changed on both our ends.
He's fighting it with everything! My husband is 55 and stage 4 metastatic PC.... I'm 47, we still have kids at home! I'm too young to be a widow! He's too young to die, plus in the last year his parents passed away and I lost my mom two weeks after his diagnosis, so I can't deal with another loss!!
At some point we had 3 sets of ashes in our closet and I begged my husband to fight because I don't want a 4th!
Now we're hardly 6 months into it, near the end of Chemo and it's been a battle for sure...

I feel deeply for you and your husband especially since you are both so young. I hope he finds the strength to fight this horrible cancer if not for him but you and children. I’m a young 79 yr old who had prostate surgery a year ago , every day I wish that I had refused to do anything and not give up my quality of life and enjoy what time is left . I’ve had a loving relationship for 40 yrs with my younger wife but feel like a stranger now when we go to bed at night. Wishing you and family get the help you need to survive this .
