Im sorry that your husband is having difficulty in dealing with the emotions that go along with being diagnosed with cancer. Unfortunately I dont have any advice on that subject. Its not easy being told you have cancer. It was difficult for me to accept due to being so independant, it took a while to sink in. I did maintain my 'lets just fix it' attitude. I was used to never asking for help and turned into one who always needed help.
Just know that there are so many wonderful caring people here who will answer your questions and help support you and your husband thru the treatments.
