If he was Dx'd in December last year then when did he complete treatment? March? I was Dx'd in Dec. 2002, Tx completed in March 2003 and in July 2003 I still a mess. At that point energy still has to be carefully doled out. Even in September I was still a mess. He may be trying to take on too much, too early. Some of us have to take baby steps towards normalcy. I am about 95% now and it has been 16 months post Tx.
My wife not only considered divorcing me but actually went so far as to consult a lawyer.
Between having a disease that one can only imagine in their worst nightmares and than having a horrific debilitating treatment and "recovery" it surprises me more that we do as well as we do.
