The Inspiring Story of Emma and Her Husband: A Lesson in Early Cancer Detection
The life of Emma and her husband took an unexpected turn after they viewed their wedding photographs. Their world was forever changed.
“He didn’t remember that I was expecting our first child. He thought I was a complete stranger.”
Emma, 33, married the man she loved, Justin Cotillard. They had meticulously planned their honeymoon, but fate had other plans. Suddenly, everything changed in an instant, and their lives would never be the same again.
One morning, Justin began verbally attacking Emma, demanding that she leave their home. Being seven months pregnant, Emma was emotionally vulnerable and reacted strongly to her husband’s behavior.
Little did they know, this was just the beginning of their ordeal. Emma recalled, “He didn’t remember that I was expecting our first child. He thought I was a complete stranger.”
At only 29 years old, Justin’s symptoms were severe. Their dreams of a honeymoon were shattered as they rushed to the hospital.
A thorough examination revealed that Justin had an extremely aggressive malignant brain tumor. The doctors delivered the devastating news that he had no more than two years to live.
Despite the shocking prognosis, the young couple realized they needed to stay strong and united to give Justin a chance to meet his child.
On the day Emma gave birth to their baby girl, Mia, Justin began his treatment and couldn’t be by his wife’s side. However, the illness progressed rapidly, and their hopes started crumbling. Emma tearfully shared, “The doctors gave my husband two weeks at home before he passed away.”
Twelve days later, Justin tragically passed away, leaving his wife devastated and his newborn daughter fatherless.
Emma reminisced about their wedding photos, noting, “Looking at the wedding photos today, you can clearly tell that the right half of his face is a bit lower.”
