I think what you need to know is that you are the most important thing in your husband‘s life. The cancer has taken a toll on him that you won’t ever know about. Most importantly he has you and your support. You should know that means everything to him. Even if he doesn’t say it, it’s important, incredibly important to him. He’s also questioning how this cancer will impact his life in two years, five years, 10 years. you’re both still young. Prostate cancer will always be in the back of his head, even though he won’t discuss it with you. Oh, it’s there. it never goes away. My wife is my anchor, like he is yours. For me only, I never, in my wildest dreams, thought at 67 I would be saying goodbye to intimacy the rest of my life but here I am. We still have plenty of fun. I’m restoring two old cars for my two kids. Everything between us is wonderful, but no, I never forget and it’s always in the back of my mind like it will be in his. Just stay close, always be there for each other and you’ll knock this thing out of the park. Best of luck to the both of you.

Thank you for the comforting words. My husband and I are best friends, and I know he would agree I am his anchor. We have three sons, and he's always said if I disappeared, it would be Lord of the Flies in no time.
