@babbsjoy It’s something one never expected and in-between the outbursts he is normal again, of course he doesn’t recognize these outbursts. I wonder if it is the Aricept? He is now on two cancer drugs Lupron shots for the prostrate and a new one Nubeqa for the Metastasis who knows what side effects there are? He acknowledges that he is forgetful but I don’t think the word dementia has ever been said just like the cancer I told him the pills and shots are preventive measures. I watched my mother die of cancer I certainly don’t want to go through that again. Thanks for your kind words.

Those outbursts have to be really challenging to deal with. Maybe talk to his doctors about this since it’s so unusual for him? I have read about this being part of the journey for many people unfortunately, so maybe his docs will have med adjustments or other things that can help.
Blessings to you. I am so sorry that you experienced your mom’s suffering and now have such an ordeal with your husband. I see and hear you. You are important!
