I just want to thank everyone who have connected with me and answered concerns about my hubby. Our battle is worse than we thought; therefore, I don’t want to post doom and gloom. Everyone has their own battle and you all are so brave. Thanks to all. Best on your journeys.
This will be my last post.

I understand your desire to spare our community "doom and gloom," but we're here to support each other, no matter what the weather is. Please feel encouraged to stay and share, no worries about pain and darkness. We are all mirrors and comfort blankets for each other. Our community is a realm of love and empathy. So, stay, post and feel supported by us all.
Absolutely. Your experiences are invaluable to many of us. After a little time has passed please rethink your decision. We don't want to loose you from the group.2Dee
Awwww Madbeach, so very sorry for your tough journey.I remember not long ago when you felt bullied and many of us came to comfort you. This is an insidious disease. It is relentless. Some Men carry on longer than you would expect without the Pharma Barrage. Do not blame the HBO decision. My belief that had nothing/little to do with your Husbands rapid PCa expansion. I remeber MadBeach is for Madeira Beach. We are just below you in St Pete. Have you been with Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa? They are World Class in PCa care. This should not be handled locally. Maybe a last minute Trial could change the direction?
You did good....alot of your post elicited a wide range of comments....we should all be so lucky to have our partners looking for the best for us.....peaceful goodbye to your husband.......
I agree with Darryl, we are here to support one another. All of us here have prostate cancer, what could be more gloomy than that? 🙂 come back if you feel it. J
Oh no! Sorry to hear you'll be signing off. Gloom and doom is part of this whole journey but also sunrises and rainbows! I hope you'll change your mind and stay. Feel free to send me a message any time. Aloha hugs across the miles.
So Hubby just turned 78.... and both of you are leaving us. Please stay we need you both as much as you need us. We are here as brothers and want to help each other. Don't give up even though it's a terrible disease which we have to beat. Tell him we all love him and that we are with him till the end... God Bless you all....
My husband enters hospice tomorrow. I still read this forum and feel supported. Sometimes we get bad news and want to retreat and that's OK. Just know there are many kind souls here who will support you if and when you need a shoulder.
Thank you so much, j-o-h-n. Yes, comfort is what it's all about now. Thank you for your kindness, it's very much appreciated. My heart is hurting so badly and reading heartfelt words from caring souls is comforting.💜
Hello dear friend, I lost my husband 6 years ago this month. I put aside this forum afterwards, but for some strange reason I felt compelled to open it up tonight, after all of this time. It was/is bittersweet as I recognize many of the gentlemen's names from 6 years back. Regardless of their length of time on here, or how far back they received their diagnosis, it still is a kindness like none other with these husbands and wives. I'm so happy to read that you have found solace in reading this forum, and I hope you continue to do so. I will be in sincere prayer, especially tomorrow as your sweet husband begins hospice. You are so special. That is the woman that your husband fell in love with and married. Blessings for days ahead to remember the love you have for each other.
Oh my goodness, thank you so much. Such a beautiful, heartfelt response. We appreciate your prayers. Our life seems like a dream but unfortunately it's very real. Sadly you know this all too well. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for caring. God bless you 🙏
Your dear husband would have been 69 years old. Passed away at 63 years old, too soon like my Dad who passed away at 66 years old. You never forget the date that they passed and you also think of them every day. I really get angry and frustrated at myself for not asking all of the questions I should of asked him and that I think of now. He like your husband was a wonderful man. Hopefully they met upstairs and are laughing at us struggling here on earth. Thank you for posting with us and may God keep you in his/her arms....
I am truly sorry to hear this. I pray that you both have the strength the bear what sounds like very tough times ahead. As a wife of someone going through this difficult illness, I read all the posts, the good ones, the painful ones and the sad ones. Even if I cannot answer a question or do anything constructive to help, I can at least say a prayer for everybody. I feel a lot of gratitude for the forum here and all the members who spare the time to write. I do understand though that you might not wish to live through serious stuff and then also re-live it when writing about it. Take care of yourselves and sending you virtual hugs. 🙏
