My husband died of pancreatic cancer in March 2024. A week after his funeral my doctor referred me to breast check as I had noticed some changes in one breast. The result was positive for cancer. Less than 2 months later, I have already had surgery for lumpectomy and will shortly begin radiation treatment. I am told that my age, as an older woman (79), has slowed the progress of the cancer and I that can expect to recover over time.
I am astonished at the speed and quality of my treatment to date and deeply grateful to the medical staff who have set me on the road to recovery. So far so good, except that my best friend, my husband, is no longer here. There is a big empty space where he should be.
