Lost my wife to Metastatic Breast Cancer. Original cancer in 2009, then apparently completely clear till early 2018, when she had symptoms resembling a gastric infection, which didn't go away, so she was booked for an abdominal ultrasound in mid March 2018. This showed up metastatic cancer clusters in various parts of her liver. Oncologist put her on a novel treatment, and had hopes that she would live for maybe 6 months, possibly a lot longer. However, it was not to be: she died at the beginning of April. I thought I was managing well, working part time, but more than two months on I'm going through episodes of real desolation. I've just stumbled on this forum, and would like to share my experiences with other bereaved spouses and partners.
