My wife was initially diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer in 2023. She received a pcr after treatment and surgery. She then had a recurrence a year later,.but again had the all clear. She started to experience some symptoms in early July, which scans revealed it had spread to her brain, lungs and liver. She passed away only a few weeks later in August.
It was her funeral last week. I think I'm still in shock. I've barely shed a tear. We were together 25 years, she was only 51 and I'm 47.
I just feel extremely lost without her. She was the most amazing, caring, loving lady. She was my world.
