If you have a local prostate cancer support group, there are often wives and partners that are part of them. They’ll be the women to talk to. And hospitals have social workers who are sometimes really knowledgeable or can refer you to women.
As Chris mentions, wives participate in cancer support groups at local cancer centers. Get in touch with your local group. Wives are so, so, so very important in this journey.
As a cancer patient I would also suggest working with a mental health professional. Emotions, self image and many other factors play a big part right now. Like many other men, I work with a psychologist to help deal with the emotions and tension of living with cancer.
