It's been a rough few weeks. A few months ago my wife had to go on prednisone like she often times does because of her lung disease. When she reduced the prednisone like she often does the puffiness did not go away. As time progressed she had more bloating and the puffiness in her face seemed to get worse. Two weeks ago her platelets and blood work started giving her issues as well.
Two weeks ago she went to the emergency department where after long stay finally had a cat scan. After the cat scan she was told that she had stomach and liver cancer. She eventually made it to a room in internal medicine department. They thought the issue with her blood work was due to an immune issue. They did a biopsy, tried to treat other issues. As they continued to treat her with various medications she continued to get worse.
Within a week and a half of being admitted into the hospital my passed away. Things took a turn for the worse very quickly for her. I was able to hold her in my arms when she took her last breath. She would have been 49 this October and we would have been married for 24yrs this fall.
Its has been a very tough few weeks that likely so far I have survived fairly well. Her celebration of her life service was at our church this past Sunday where I did her eulogy. It has likely been the toughest couple of weeks in my life. Both of my parents died of cancer as well. I have had a couple of weird moments where my body felt completely flush or a few other weird sensations.
