I saw my GYN recently and she said MANY women feel that way that "don't wanna know" and that's why doctors always hafta press us to get screenings, etc. obviously many women aren't in MLC so maybe it's a common feeling? Your W is just expressing what many women feel?
We just take everything personally about the R when we are the LBS. Understandably so.
My mom was just 4 years older than your W is currently, when she died of breast cancer. She took all the treatment and died anyway. Maybe your W has considered such cases and really feels (atm) that treatment wouldn't be worth it. It might've had nothing to do with you.
Since my H has been back, he has said many things about death/dying/retirement that are different then how he felt before. I just listen. I know it doesn't hafta do with his love for me.
Just to encourage you it may not be a big red flag signal from W. Just an innocent discussion. And you did great being there for her, helping her, and validating her, btw!
