Thank you William for your support I'm so glad that the dreaded latest psa was good and you are getting on with family life. It is good to hear that you can get through it. My husband is v positive considers himself lucky as found, I on the other hand have gone to pieces but am seeking help via my Dr, I do feel guilty for feeling as I do but can't help it he really is my soulmate I think the world of him and can't stand the fact that pc has turned out world upside down, just so scared of future. Op is 29 dec so next hurdle. Thank you again for telling me your experience I really appreciate it. Jayne

Hello again Jayne.
I think your husband has now joined ?

It's good that he is positive about the whole thing and it is also understandable that your world is no longer the same as it was before the diagnosis. We all know that feeling.

You'll get through this, you have to because your soul mate will need you to be there and to be as reassuring as possible after the op, not to mention your son.

At the moment the fear is taking over but there are many on her who can tell you that there is life after diagnosis. It isn't the same as before but it is life. He'll be around to watch your son grow into a fine young man.

Please don't let this fear take hold. You have the help of your GP and that is good but it might be good for you to also take a big breath and let that fear out. Paul is facing a major operation and I am sure both you and your son will want to be as strong for him as he is being for you.

Good luck and God Bless

Hello again, that overwhelming fear is so debilitating. As I mentioned earlier last Christmas for me and if I am honest this Christmas as well with the small rise in his PSA. However, the support on here is a lifesaver. So many well informed people with first hand experience of the disease. I became so much better informed about pca and treatment options and felt able to ask questions of the professionals. But above all I did not feel alone in my time of great fear and anxiety and for that I am ever grateful.. Good luck with the future I feel confident that things will become clearer and more manageable after the op. Cheers Georgina

Thanks Georgina it does help to know you can ask questions and it's ok to feel as I do to be honest at the start felt like I was losing the plot, didn't know about pca until sometime later as too scared to go on internet wish husband's nurse had informed us. I hope you can have a good Christmas and thanks again for being there. Jayne
