I am so sorry to hear about your loss I lost my wife. Penny ️ on the 6th November. 2019 this year. Penny was diagnosed with Stage 4 (Mets) Breast Cancer about 3weeks before she passed away in the hospital. Penny was be treated by our GP for Sciatica before she collapsed in the bedroom. This after I had been diagnosed with Prostate cancer just after Christmas last year. After I had been to my GP. To see about 6 different doctors before I demand a PSA test. Doctors keep saying I had Piles. I didn't need a PSA test. But got one after Arguments. I was then put on Hormone treatment that was not easy as I was overdosed on Hormone tablets for 3 Months before it discovered I was taking to many a day. This was discovered after I was very ill. Eventually put on the right dosage before I had 20 days of Radiotherapy in June/July. Half way through my treatment Penny started to complain about a bad back and went to see GP. horrible year with the worse possible ending. At the moment I am struggling so much to understand why this has happened in a year. I miss my Penny so much. Penny was my world. We were Married for 48 years. Penny was 16 when we met. 18 years old. When we married. Penny had just turned 67 when passed away. Miss you so much .
