Hi folks:
Mostly I lurk, but, I've posted a couple of times. There are others here who
have more positive insights than I can provide.
I write now to advise that my wife passed away at home early yesterday
morning, less than one year after her diagnosis with Her2 positive
inflammatory breast cancer and barely 3 months after the discovery of brain
mestastes.
During the course of her treatment, some of her therapies reduced the size
of her tumours, however, not for long. I believe the doctors did the very
best for her in the face of a very aggressive cancer.
I wish you all luck with your treatments; hug those you love today for they,
or you, could be gone tomorrow.

Please accept my sympathy on the loss of your wife.
IBC is a relatively rare condition. I am sure you will have some unique
insights into dealing with this particular face of the beast and could
make a valuable contribution if you did decide to stick around. But
equally I can understand a desire to put the whole issue behind you.

Bryan,
I'd like to express my sympathy as well. I'm sure that she was happy
to be at home with you by her side.
Take care.

Deepest sympathy to you & your family, Bryan. If there's anything we
help with -- particularly those of us who've lost family members to the
beast -- please don't hesitate to stop by.
Condolences,
Ann T.

Bryan, I lost my wife to mets 2 years ago.
I wish you the best in overcoming this terrible loss.
The big empty hole in your life will never go away, but it does
gradually get easier to work around it.

appreciate what you're experiencing. My deepest and most
profound sympathy for your loss.

My sincere condolences to you on your lost, Bryan. How sad it is that
too many do not take your words to heart when they are living with a
mate who has bc. I would rather have hugs today than tears tomorrow.
Sadly, many must endure more tears than hugs.
