My husband refuses to believe he has cancer?
My husband was diagnosed with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia two months ago. He handled the news relatively well at first, but now I'm convinced he's losing his mind. He outright refuses to even consider any treatment options and seems entirely convinced that there is no cancer at all.
He's cooked up a crazy conspiracy theory that his cancer diagnosis was an elaborate hoax perpetrated by his ex-wife and her new husband involving forged test results and actors posing as doctors. I tried to reason with him but he's completely absorbed in his insane fantasy world. I don't think he's even slept in four days. Has anybody else experienced this?
Please help. I'm beginning to lose control of the situation.

Take him to the hospital, pull the doc to the said and maybe, just maybe they'll admit him to a Psych Ward and administer treatment. Sorry.

He isn't handling the situation very well because he is probably still in shock. You should probably get him some counseling to help him cope.

he will soon see the light, (no pun intended)

He's just saying that, whatever the situation, his health will not dominate him even though he dies.

You have already truly lost control, as you never really had it in the first place. I mean that to say that the obstacles you are facing are beyond the scope of what most of us are equipped to deal with.
You need to commit your husband, on the grounds that he is a risk of harm to himself.
Don't wait...cancer is time sensitive.
You both need help, and NOW. Call his doctors.
