Hi.
It is most likely that he has become depressed due to the prostate cancer that is causing him distress.
It is unfortunate that he does not want to talk about it, as it can be effectively treated by oral treatment and therapy.
The best you can do is to give him support and encouragement to ser a doctor for an evaluation
