My husband has metastatic PC, badly missing support

@bigmaya It all sounds so difficult! Do you have friends or neighbors who can help some? I may be very incorrect but I interpret “metastatic PC” to mean pancreatic cancer. Please correct me if I’m wrong. I attached a link to pancan.org, a national organization of resources for patients and families.

What other organizations have you tried to reach?
Please let me know what you learn

Hello Becky and thanks for responding!!
No, PC is prostate cancer... for what it's worth, l try to find some comfort in our family doctor's words a year ago "contrary to pancreatic cancer, for instance, PC is treatable" To your question, no, unfortunately it's just the two of us and our many felines...
I have been looking for some soul support everywhere. It's really rough and tough!!
Thankfully though, we have a great oncologist, both professionally and as a human... and my husband is, so l hope, well taken care of, as far as the medical part is concerned. We've now been referred to house hospice which is covered by our health fund. NO, it's not as l thought only for the terminally ill alone, but also for patients like my husband who are sometimes in pain and require extra attention, balanced medication, etc. It's a 24/7 service including a dr., nurse, social worker. Thank you.
