How to handle a stressful marriage after parotid gland cancer treatment?

I was diagnosed with parotid gland cancer 12/24 I had surgery to have it removed and then 6 weeks of radiation, it was ruff but I got thru it now I’m starting to lose my teeth from the radiation on my neck, I have been feeling pretty good however I do have to be checked periodically, today is my 75th and my wife is treating me so mean it’s like she completely forgot about what I endured. I do all the food shopping pay all of the bills she contributes nothing. I’m used to that but today on my birthday I took her and my daughter out for a nice dinner. My wife complained that I left a 25% tip and complaining that I drive to slow, I’m a driving instructor and I know the rules of the road so I follow them she gets so mad when I drive the speed limit or she doesn’t like the roots I take. My point is she has me so STRESSED that I feel it’s going to bring my cancer back, I can’t help but yelling at her to leave me be . Any advise on how to handle her? We are married for 45 years and I still don’t get her.

How do you cope with long waits between bladder cancer tests and treatments?

That day came only for them to tell me they weren't going to do it but just move right to the TURBT...another 10 day wait. Then found out I had two very aggressive types of bladder cancer with lymphovascular invasion...another 3 week wait for CT Scan of my chest and MRI of my pelvis. This whole process started in January and I haven't even seen an Oncologist yet! I feel caught in a system that doesn't see this as urgent as I do. I feel like just the next number in the queue. Its frustrating and feels like they don't care.
