18 months ago my wife, AM, was diagnosed with a rare, currently-incurable cancer - a pulmonary arterial sarcoma. Going by stats, it's incredible that she's still here. She had a sci-fi operation (pulmonary endarterectomy) involving being put into suspended animation, having her blood flow stopped, and tumor removed at a tolerance of 0.3mm. She's finishing this year on her second course of chemo. 2022 was bloody hard, but we're still standing.
To say it's been a rollercoaster of a year is a massive understatement. It gave us a massive kicking, but it didn't beat us.
