Hi there im brand new to this blog so bare with me. I briefly read over your husbands situation. Im sorry to hear that ur goin thru this. Stay positive for hubby, im sure you caught this and will get the required treatment. However, if I can say one thing. Do RESEARCH trust me I know the fear of having the C diagnosis. I was 42 n knew nothing about C. All I knew was GET IT OUT. So I had to do the radiation therapy. But I also had surgery as my 1st Choice n opt for the RADS.
Again...ur hubby probly nothibg like me...just please research ur options is my advise. Good Luck. I'll be praying for you all.
