My wife (28) was diagnosed with stage 3 Triple-Negative Breast cancer a year ago. Chemotherapy was ineffective and after a single mastectomy the cancer quickly came back in the breast, and spread to the liver a couple of months ago.
Now it is in her ovaries and spine. It is advancing unbelievably fast - she seems to have a genetic profile that the oncological team has never encountered before, and it hasn't behaved as expected throughout the entire treatment process.
At this rate it looks like she has just a few weeks left. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to best use the time we have?
Hi
Sorry to hear about your wife and the journey you have both been on. In terms of what next it sort of depends on how your wife is. Mostly people talk about making happy memories though sometimes that can be looking at perhaps happier times and sharing those memories together.
<<hugs>>
