They didn't say what stage the tumor was in when they found out, but I am just saying if Imarti could've been treated right away, maybe she would have survived...who knows. By delaying the operation, they only made the matters worse.
I don't think we'll ever know. She was meant to die young, either way.
Whether her fears became a self-fulfilling prophecy or not is something we may never learn. The fact is, as NB said, she wanted 6 months more with him while he wanted 6 years. It was always going to be a risky operation even if they had done it earlier, which is what scared them both.
As someone else said on the forum, he was damned if he went with it, and damned if he didn't. Which is what makes this whole thing extremely heartbreaking. No wonder he can't get over it. He feels he was wrong to have let his excessive love for her cloud his judgement and not have her operated sooner, maybe. In trying to hold her as tight as he could, he ended up snuffing the life out of her, is what he feels. When Minnie simply stated that he was a good man, that he had always been one, she was aiming at freeing him a little from this guilt.
