A lot of patients suffered with varying degrees of depression from barely noticeable to that requiring professional assistance and it sounds like your husband falls in that latter category. Since most of us hate going to a "regular" doctor you may need to get help from his cancer docs to persuade him to get the mental help it sounds like he needs.
