Having my family (two grown up daughters) were really supportive .. some close friends also .. I joined an online group for partners and wife’s of prostate cancer .. that was amazing as you could ask questions or just have a general moan to like minded people .. also some were at the same stage or just starting their journeys also some were at the end .. was surprised at the different age range as well
