Just to elaborate further I wish to state that it is my wife who was affected.Sadly the follow up act scan revealed liver cancer & after chemo treatment she died in April 2016.I am just trying to make sense of everything not to apportion any blame.Death is a part of life & we should all know this.This post is part of a slow process I am undertaking to get to grips with my loss.
