notwillie: Your husband wish to stay private on his condition makes your life very difficult. I know when I was 1st diagnosed, my wife & I held back of telling our family until we had a clearer picture of what treatment I would have. PC has a way of depressing us men. I wish I had answers for you, but I can only wish you the best in coping. There are numbers of us on What Next and we have told our stories hoping that this will guide and support other men. Prayers to you and your husband. A survivor, Ross

Why do you think he's so private about it? Have you asked him? He must have a reason. I'm just guessing and I suppose he knows you want to know and you've probably asked plenty so pushing him would probably make it worse, but if you could get a tiny window open in the conversation as to "why" he needs to be so private and let him think about it over time I suppose its possible he might "eventually" open up a bit. Otherwise I don't know what to suggest. We can't make people tell us stuff if they refuse. You may just have to let go on this. Goodluck
