My FIL has cancer:(

jtenebackjteneback member
in Trying to Get Pregnant

I knew this about a week ago, but it's prostate cancer which is usually very treatable so I wasn't too worked up about it.  DH just e-mailed me (he said he's been crying to hard to call me) and said that it's worse than they thought and may already have spread...surgery is out as an option.  If you have any spare positive thoughts, I would really appreciate them. 

I'm also worried for DH since his grandfather, uncle, and now father have now all had prostate cancer...

    T&P for your FIL and your family. My grandfather was diagnosed with this last month. It was terribly scary, as he is like my dad to me. I hope everything turns out ok.

    I'm sorry.  My FIL had bladder cancer at this time last year.  They also had to remove his prostate.  But he's completely fine now.  It's scary but very treatable.

    T&P to you and your family.

    I am sorry to hear about your FIL! Don't give up hope! Keep hoping and staying positive, there are so many treatments out there and a lot of times the doctors are wrong they just try to prepare the family for the worst.  My grandfather was diagnosed terminally ill with lung cancer and they gave him 4-6 months to live, that was 2 years ago and now he is cancer free for almost a year and on his way to being almost fully recovered.  So there is hope!

    Also, as far as DH goes there are so many preventative treatment options espeically since he knows it is in his genetics!

    Good luck and try to keep your head up and be there for DH... you and your DH and in-laws will be in my T&P

    I'm so sorry that you and YH are going through this.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.  I hope that there are other options that can be explored such as radiation or chemotherapy.

    Im really sorry to hear this.  Try to stay positive and remember if your DH knows about a previous history then they can test and catch it early God forbid he were to get it . That way it would be treatable. Ive had several family members and friends who have dealt with different types of cancer and his still sounds like there is hope so try to stay positive for your DH. I have known men who had prostate cancer and came out of it and are healthy now. You and your family are in my prayers and thoughts. Angel

    I'm so sorry to hear this.  My family is also going through a cancer diagnosis with my mom right now and it is the most stressful thing I have ever been through.  The waiting is the worst part.  Your family will definitely be in my prayers.

    I'm sorry hun! My grandfather was just found to have prostate and liver cancer. He's 90 years old though, so at this point they aren't going to do much for him treatment-wise. I know how hard it is though. Thinking about you!

    I'm sorry... I hope his doctors are able to control it.  Your DH should be checked very frequently from a young age since his odds are crummy.

    T&P to your family.

    I'm sorry to hear the bad news.  Stay strong.  Your husband needs to see his dr yearly and have his prostate and psa levels checked.
