4 years into survival and I was STILL dealing with anger issues! I took an anger management class at my church (actually several in a row), started to see what was going on in my mind and finally deal with it. I was a real handful as a patient during treatment. I'm used to having control - not the other way around. You have to put on thick skin to deal with a cancer patient. I bought my wife a BMW Z4 Roadster to make up for some of my abusiveness;-)

Make sure that you get support for yourself, get enough rest and nutrition. Respite care would be a very beneficial thing as well. Since you are the main person there, you will also be the target - try to spread the love so to speak.

Remember also that most men express their fear as anger.
