@gramstrong23, recovery is a beast. You're so right that recovery includes mental recovery. There are a few discussions in the Cancer: Managing Symptoms support group that talk about the mental and emotional aspects of cancer (https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/cancer-managing-symptoms/)

Does your husband have a therapist? Have either of you met with an oncology social worker?
