Hubby has diagnosis... desperately anxious, negative and depressed.

I am so calm and positive, I wonder if I have any heart at all. We have been married for years and love each other very much... why am I not devastated?

    Anxiety is not compulsory but is very common and completely understandable.   It is something that you will be going through together.   There are good counsellors about, normally attached to the larger cancer treatment centres and talking it through and with one another does help.

    My dear, if it were me going through this trauma, I would rather have a calm, steadfast  person at my side than an emotional wreck.  Be the rock.
