My heart is broken as my whole world Mandy, who fought so hard to get through 2 rounds chemo for her leukemia and almost 9 weeks in hospital, died last Saturday after getting Covid 19. It just seems so so unfair that after all she went through, with a donor for an SCT already lined up, that she should die like this. Then I have to self isolate for 14 days, which is another hell. Then all the nonsense with the cremation and restricted to 10 people and I have to sit alone 2 metres from everyone. Tom

    Hi   

    I am so sorry to hear this, you have been dealt a real bad blow.

    It is very early and under the circumstances of how your Mandy passed is cruel.

    You had both dealt with the chemo and no one was expecting this and i really fill for you.

    You must take each day as it come's, it is hard and you have to deal with the extra circumstances of this awful virus, which none of us ever expected

    You will get a lot of support from this group, everyone will know how you fill,and we all support each other.

    My Thought's are with you.

    Take Care Ellie xx.

  • Tom I'm so sorry you've found yourself here. Bereavement is hard enough without the added difficulties.

    My husband died after having chemotherapy but from a blood clot. I woke up one night to find him gone. I'm not comparing my situation to yours but to show that you're not alone.

    I hope you have some support from someone to speak to.

    Take care and keep well.

    Look to the moon.

    Thanks Ellie, to think it was only few months ago I was looking on this forum for advice about what happens during the SCT procedure. All the heartache of being apart for almost 9 weeks and for it to end like this. Sometimes I think I should put her possessions away and then I think but this is her home and they should stay out and in view all the time. Confused, Lost and Helpless. x

    Thanks wildcat, once my self isolation finishes at the end of next week, my sister and her family will visit and that will be a big help. Sorry for your loss too  x
