How?Why?.........I am totally devastated my wife has passed away,8 weeks from being diagnosed for secondary breast cancer.......6 weeks ago we sat with the oncologist,she sai think you're going to be fine,you seem very stoic,going to put you on the gold standard treatment........my wife was horrific last 2 weeks of treatment,hospitalised twice.......we went for our next appointment with oncologist thinking this treatment hasn't worked she'll put her on another treatment........Only to be told the cancer is very very aggressive,chemo won't do anything.......go home and spend time with your family..........How could this happen so quick,so fast.........I'm heartbroken and I really don't know how I'm going to manage on my own with no family......I'm 52

I've no answer this cancer does what it wants , but I just wanted to say , sat here crying myself that I feel for you , maybe it will help you a tiny bit to know your not the only one going through this terrible stress , on a good day I get through it by thinking t least I met you and we had some brilliant times and we have fantastic memories , the other option is to have never met , I'm not explaining it to well , just enjoy every good minute .
