Incidentally, my husband also has malignant prostate cancer. He has had it for many months. So far, not much change, although the doctor says he is too old for the usual treatments, at age 81. There are treatments for this, especially for men who are not quite that old. Also, maybe you could ask around and find the best treatments available. Hang in there, even though your family has emotional problems that prevent them from responding appropriately. I also speak from experience here. Since you can see these problems, you must have huge inner strength that will help you stand all this and show your husband the sympathy and help he needs. You can do it! Just do your best.
