Living with Oncology

About 6 months ago a co-worker/friend was hospitalized with pnemonia [pneumonia] and the doctors found an irregular heart beat. She followed up with her doctor who then sent her to several other ’specialists’. Being a very private woman, she never disclosed exactly what the specialists were looking/testing her for. She lost lots of weight over the last 6 months and she simply looked tired. She also complained of being physically tired which everyone thought was normal because she’s a 50+ year old woman who works a full time job as well as another almost full time job.

She even started to complain about all the specialists that her doctor was sending her to - she did disclose that one was a cancer specialist. She thought her doctor was either over-reacting or ‘covering his butt’ because he was not able to pinpoint the problem or diagnose her with anything. Well……6 months after all this started, she’s dead. She died very suddenly one evening after returning home from her second job. She fell dead within minutes of calling 911 in the middle of the night. By the time the paramedics reached her home she had already fallen dead! This has been such a shocker because although we knew about all the specialists - not even she believed that there was anything seriously wrong?

I’ve googled her symptoms just looking for a link between her onset of pnemonia and what her doctor was possibly concerned about. So far I’ve come up with heart cancer or COPD She never-ever smoked though which kinda rules out COPD? I just wanna know what could have killed this woman who was so vibrant just 6 months ago and now is suddenly gone! What did her doctor see?
