My husband revieled to me this weekend, that he is really struggling with fear of my cancer coming back. I think it is causing him to put up walls and he is just really having a hard time with this. I don't know how to help him as I have my own fears. I am sure he is terrified of losing me and having to go through this with me again. I know its not easy and as a man cause their just not built in to be a care givers. Will it get easier for him? I occasionally have mini panick attacks about my cancer, I think it is similar to Post tramatic stress disorder, and I now realize he does to. If you have any words of wisdom as care givers, I would appreciate it.
Thanke you
