What else can go wrong?

[John4703]

Am I being unreasonable to ask why life throws so much crap at me? About 17 years ago I met the woman of my dreams, she was, and is wonderful. I moved into her home 15 years ago and we got married 6 months later. Life was brilliant. Can I say that until then I never know how good sex life could be.
Five years ago she was diagnosed with cancer and had a mastectomy, I still think she looks beautiful and I love her. She has lymphedema so I help her put on compression sleeve and glove every day.
The treatment for cancer caused heart failure and two years ago was the worst time ever as she was in hospital hardly able to breath. We got through it and life returned to normal.
Today my wife saw the cardiologist and she has a leaking heart valve, she has virtually no energy and need to sleep a lot.
AIBU to ask that this is the last thing to go wrong and to ask that we can enjoy life again?
IABU to ask these questions but it has helped me to share them.
Thanks for reading

Life is fragile, John. It does sound like she's had some bad luck and you are lucky to have each other. Remember those 17 years haven't been for nothing and there are still more to come X

I don't have any advice but I do hope this is the last bad thing that happens to you both and that your life can return to normal soon .

Push for help. Get her valve mended. If the NHS can’t do it quickly,can you possibly afford private care? Wishing you both the best of all outcomes. You obviously love your lady. Do everything you can for her xx

Three replies and I'm smiling for the first time since the diagnosis.
THANK YOU SO MUCH

Sorry you’ve both been through so much. I hope your wife improves and am sending you both love and strength. X

Life is a bitch
Life isn’t fair, it always seems the wrong people end up suffering

I hope this will be the end of your back luck as a couple and you’ll have much happiness in the future

Sorry to hear this but sending a virtual hug for you and your wife. You clearly are a great support to her but you can always come on here to sound off when you need to get it out

You'll get through it together.

My 2 year old has a leaky heart valve. Are they going to replace it?

So sorry to hear about your wife's health problems.

It does sound like she has got amazing love, strength and support from you.

Stay strong. for you both X
