1 ReactionGood sound advise Lynda at a very difficult time of life. Having a good partner who is a good listener and helper with the appointments is truly important at the end and throughout the difficult journey. Your thoughts are truly wise and appreciated.
Unfortunately, he passed away in April. He didn't go down without a fight, though.
Below is a time line:
August 2022, the cancer returned. The doctors put him on Zytiga. He complained of side effects. The doctors then put him on Lynparza. Again, he complained of side effects. In November, he started Pluvicto treatments. December, he was diagnosed with small cell carcinoma of the lungs. In January, he had 5 days of radiation. In February, he had Immunotherapy. A week later, he developed neutropenia. In March, hospice. In April, he passed away.
My husband was a very unique person. We never sat down & talked about his diagnosis or treatment
options. He wanted to be in charge of everything. I was just expected to get him to all of his appointments. Which I was able to do. He became more & more angry, though, once he knew he was loosing battle. Luckily, I realized that. I just listened. I did not make any comments or suggestions. Hopefully, there's good communication between the two of you. If anything, be there for your husband. Being told you have cancer is bad enough. Being told you have advanced cancer has be to a million times worse. Keep in touch.
