Linda was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer on June 6th 2014. She fought a good fight that lasted till May 27th 2015. In that time I was her caregiver and since both of us were retired we could be together at all times and plan how we were going to fight this dreaded cancer. I would like to tell her whole story but I feel that I am in the wrong area. Can somebody please steer me in the right direction. She taught me so much and I think I would be able to help so much because I experienced it first hand. Before I go there is one thing I have to say that may save somebody's life if they are reading this. If you get TNBC make sure your doctor does a full body scan including the Brain. Because that is where the cancer went and was not discovered till two weeks before she died. They did a spinal tap and found cancer in the fluid. She only had days to live after that. She died a painful death. This is only part of the story if anybody is interested let me know.

    I'm so sorry for your loss. The moderators (or someone else smarter than I) will know which forum is best for you. This may be it. If you don't get the answer here, you can send a private message to the moderators from your profile page. Again, I'm so sorry.
