Hello All,
My name is Eric, I'm 26 years old, and I lost my 25-year-old wife almost 3 months ago. She was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in July 2015. She immediately started chemo therapy at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. She completed her chemo in December. In January 2016, she had a double mastectomy, lymph nodes where the cancer had spread were also removed. She then completed 6 weeks of proton beam radiation therapy. At the end of March, she was cancer free. She continued to recover at home until our wedding and honeymoon in June. In July 2016, she started to experience terrible headaches. Two lesions were found in her brain. She had surgery to remove both lesions. It was too late, though. The cancer later spread to her brain and spinal cord. She passed away on September 10, 2016. She was the love of my life, and it hurt every day that I had to watch her be sick. Moving forward without her continues to hurt more than I could have imagined. In May, we went on a "Parade of Homes" tour where we live in ND. We planned to start saving for our home. Everything we had ever dreamed of is gone now.
