My DH has quite a few health problems but he is described by medics as stoic. He recovered from a stroke, has metal support in his spine, and just had a total knee replacement. During this time he has kept working as he can. Now diabetic, a PSA blood test shows he has aggressive prostate cancer that cannot be operated on. He is 68. We hoped our retirement would allow us to enjoy our granddaughter, relax and maybe travel.
His treatment plan is hormone therapy and radiotherapy. Has anyone else's partner gone through this. We have been knocked for six.
Iit does knock you sideways to receive such news. If you’d like a positive tale, a friend who’s dh, in his 50’s, was diagnosed out of the blue with the same condition has had hormone and chemo treatment and is doing very well - normal life apart from check ups has resumed for them. I hope it’s the same for you, too.
So, what does “class” actually mean to you nowadays?
Here comes the sun…..are you prepared?
