  I'm so sorry! If he's having more testing and screening done, and they found find its cancer, then my guess will be that it will be in the early stages. My father was just diagnosed with prostate cancer, stage 1 because of early detection.
  
  I understand your worries. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

  So sorry to hear this news. I hope the testing goes well. I was diagnosed with non-hodgkin's lymphoma in May and just finished up my chemo treatments. Based on my experience, I recommend getting a second opinion if you feel you need one, offer to assist FI in anyway you can without being pushy, and just be there if he ever needs to talk.

  I'm really sorry you're all going through this, and hope everything goes well. 

  
  

  I agree that a second opinion can sometimes be helpful in these situations. Crying can be good. If you don't have a counselor, you and fi might want to consider getting one. This is a very scary thing to navigate, even if it does not end up being cancer. 

  
  

  Keeping my fingers crossed for all of this to go well.

  I am so very sorry you and your fiance are going through this.  Hearing the word "cancer" about ANY person you love and care about is just about one of the worst things that could happen. 
  
  I'm sure you already know this because of your dad, but I'll reiterate in hopes of making you feel a little bit better! My dad also had prostate cancer. They removed his prostate and so far everything's been fine and cancer-free.  Thank the gods!
  
  It is a well-known fact with prostate cancer that men rarely die FROM prostate cancer.  When their time eventually comes, men with prostate cancer usually die WITH prostate cancer, not from it.  It is typically a very slow growing cancer, and many men actually live with it for their lives. Not many die from prostate cancer itself.
  
  I'll be sending you and your fiance good energy to get through this!

  I'm so sorry to hear that, sending positive thoughts and prayers you and your fiance's way. I hope that the tests come back negative, but if they are, maybe think about getting professional support for both of you.

  I am so sorry you guys have to go through this. As I'm sure you know from your father's illness, Prostate Cancer is a very treatable form on cancer- especially if they require more testing just t make sure he has it, it is most likely in the early stages. The best thing you can do for both of you is to take a deep breath and remember why you love each other. Take a few days from wedding planning, go see a movie, go out to eat, do anything that makes the two of you happy. Sitting around and stressing will not help, even though I know it's all you want to do. We are all thinking of you both during this time.
