Thanks for your suggestions Chris, I know many times I have tried to broach the subject with him and he says he just doesn't want to talk about it and I don't push it.
Hopefully his girlfriend will help him to bring it out in the open and I think too he needs a professional who is removed from the emotions of it all to help him unseat all the built up emotions within him.

Thanks for your suggestion too Jennifer but I dont think he would go to canteen he more likely to go to see someone one on one.

:hugs: Jaybee

I would suggest to let his girlfriend broach the subject in a comfortable way with you , her & him sitting around with a coffee or drink. Let him then tell you how he felt in the past then lead the conversation to the present. If he realy is suffering mood swings then it would be advisable for him to see a proffessional BUT make sure it is someone accredited not just a counciler. You need to reassure him that the CA issue is yours not his & that you love him for being so concerned now & in the past but no matter how much he is worried for you it is still your issue all be it involving the WHOLE family not just him. Hope this gives you some ideas. Best whishes Chris

I am now three years post tx and so far everything is going ok :xfingers: I am worried for my eldest son as his gf made a comment to me the other day.

She said " that he suffers from alot of mood swings and has commented to her that he still hasn't overcome his fear of his mother's cancer returning"

I thought that he coped quite well ( I know he struggled with it like everybody else) but he has apparently said that he felt being the eldest that he had to carry his younger brothers and be strong for everything and everybody. These comments have really made me feel so sad and guilty that he feels like this.

His girlfriend has suggested that he sees someone to overcome these feelings and I havent brought the subject up with him as I dont want to embarass him.

Has anyone else experienced this? Should I bring it out in the open or just let him and his girlfriend work through it?

I am open to suggestions.
