Listen to Esther's story about her experience of her partner's prostate cancer, how she's managing and the impact it's had on her life.
It has made David even more tired than usually. His cancer has started to resist the treatment and he is now under the care of our local hospice.
I struggled at first to accept support. But then I acknowledged that I’m not super human. Prostate Cancer UK and Macmillan are fantastic. So, use them. Access your GP. Accept support from family - don’t be scared to ask them for help. It can be difficult, but remember to make some time for you. Counselling - I have counselling from the hospice and it really helps. Joining a support group. I belong to a support group for partners of men with Prostate Cancer. Joining it is the best thing I could have done as I can share both the good and the bad days with people that understand.
By sharing your experience of prostate cancer on the infopool you can help others. Your experience is valuable as they go through their own journey. Help make the prostate cancer community stronger.
