Feeling cheated

I’m back after inadvertently blocking Connect Mayo.
Wednesday is going to be a big day we see the neurologist for the results of the MRI. Since my husband and I have never addressed his changes, forgetfulness etc I am wondering how everyone’s partner/spouse has reacted to what the doctor has said regarding any results? I am concerned that he will get upset when he is told the results? He is very happy and I don’t want to change that for him? It’s the same with his cancer I have not told him as he seems to be adjusting well to the medication. Let me know please?

Hello: My husband does not have many big emotions anymore. When he heard his diagnosis he just said, "Oh" and said no more. His brother died last summer and he would not even accept a hug and didn't even cry. It's like he's had a lobotomy.
My husband also has what is known as anosognosia, meaning no self-awareness. He doesn't even realize he has dementia. This made for difficulties when it came time to surrender his driver's license and debit/credit cards.
That's our situation.
All the best to you. 🌻
