Hi, we had this dreadful news in January. My husband has always been a fit healthy man until September last year when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer which knocked us for six but the prognosis was very good so we got on with it, but he was suddenly taken ill in January & was rushed in for a lifesaving operation as he’d had a bleed on the brain & the tumour was then discovered. We’re both finding it hard to come to terms with & sometimes I don’t know whether I’m coming or going. Would be glad of any advice. Thanks
