in Prostate Cancer #1

Hi, I am new here. My name is STUART and I just had surgery to remove my prostate cancer on July 16. Since then, my recovery is going well, but 2 days ago my fiancé has decided it was too much for her to handle and left me. I don’t know where to reach out to or who else to speak to about the constant depression and feeling that I am so unwanted due to my diagnosis and side effects of having my prostate removed. Are there online zoom groups where people talk this out? Is this common and something that I should’ve expected?

    Wow, You can see here if you review this site how many spouses and significant others come on to learn and research information to help their partners. It is certainly not unheard of with cancer diagnosis’s after time due to strain of being an extensive care provider it wears down the person and they need emotional support or divorce’s occur. I have not heard within days I am out of here. If you would share more details of your diagnosis staging up to your surgery and age, alot of members can tell you where they were at a similar time. Yes, many have side effects but the side effects vary and can diminish. Even with your prostate gone, many women want the emotional closeness that comes in a relationship and knowing you find them still sexually attractive and can satisfy them in a number of ways keeps relationships strong. I can’t speak to your fiance walking out, but it could be for the best. There are support groups by contacting your hospital .
