Many patients experience terrible after effects. All of this can build up and make a patient depressed. Even the fear of a recurrance is something that alot of us worry about constantly.
Talk to his doctors together about this. Im sure they will be able to help. Best of luck with your husbands continued recovery. Dont forget to still take some time for yourself.
