Hi all,
With great sadness, my wife of 6 months (married July 2021) passes away Sunday 9th January aged 30 yrs old. Leaves behind three children and a loving and devoted husband.
Back in October, my wife started experiencing back pain, and after a few weeks she finally went to get checked out. After giving her some pills and a physio appointment she was in her way. After a a few more weeks, enough was enough and went private and had three sessions of osteopathy. This was not achieving resultsand she became feeling more ill. We had her admitted to hospital, and after being treated for anemia, something wasn't right with her bloods. They took a bone marrow biopsy. After a few days of waiting we were given the results, a week before Christmas. Cancer In the bone marrow. I was told by our oncologist, that in fact they cannot find the primary source. We were under the cup spectrum. After making all levels ok, she was allowed home for Christmas and New year with family, whilst they invistigate further and get results in new year. On Monday 3rd Jan my wife was feeling quite unwell, unable to move about. I called out hospice trained nurses to come and see, with concerns the cancer is acting up, we had her re-admitted back to hospital. Three days later we had a mri scan and a day later one shot of radiotherapy to help with pain and releave symptoms. My wife became increasingly unwell through Saturday evening and early hours Sunday morning I had a call from hospital, 2.30am, can you please come in. I got there to find her levels were through the floor, they managed to stabilise but borderline. Throughout the day I was with my wife and various family members went to visit. She was declining incredibly quickly and entered a coma later morning. Hospital wanted to run a ct scan but deemed in the end too risky. By 5pm that day, my truly amazing wife had slipped away. Passing peacefully with nothing more than oxygen left. I'm truly proud of how hard my wife fought the fight, however it happened so quick she wasnt realising she was dying. Now she leaves three amazing children and a devoted husband. Her memory will always be alive and my children will grow older knowing how amazing she really was to everyone.
