I could use a lot of mojo and positive prayers sent my way today. My FWH has a prostrate biopsy today at 3:30. We are both scared, but frankly, he’s terrified. His father died of prostate cancer, his mother of breast cancer. Last year, I had a breast cancer scare, which was just over a year from the time his mother died of it, and this year his eldest sister had breast cancer and underwent a successful surgery for it. He is convinced, unconsciously I believe, that he is going to have cancer as well, We’ve had several heart-rending talks about this fear of dying like his father, his fear of cancer period, his fear of burdening me with his “unreasonable” fear, his allowing the fear to explode into him reacting in old, bad habits, and you name it. It’s been a really stomach-twisting time for us for the last two weeks. Plus his fears of finally having driven me away since I have not committed to staying or going until we get his diagnosis. We are still in an in-house separation, being very supportive of each other, talking often, and being very kind to each other. Sorta living in limbo.
In any case, I would really appreciate your prayers, mojo, positive energy, and so on today and until we get his diagnosis.

Been through this with my first husband - unfortunately results were positive and he was very ill BUT has been in full remission for many years and getting married again soon, so all's well.
It's a horrible time, I know and my heart goes out to you. Not particularly religious but thinking of you both. Stay strong.

I'm going to move this to OT for you, so you can get support in the appropriate forum.
Suppressing your feelings only locks them in place.
