She posted her picture giving a thumbs up, and wrote: "I lived bi**h. I have had cancer for the past year. I am now cancer-free."
Following Avicii's passing, Goldberg paid tribute in honor of the late music producer.
“‘Come on babe, don’t give up on us. Choose me, and I’ll show you love.’ Those are lyrics from a song Tim wrote for me. I wish I could have lived up to them.” she wrote on Instagram just after his death sharing a slideshow of them.
“For the two years we were together, he was my closest confidante, and my best friend. Now I can’t look at Bear without knowing I’ll never see his face again. I’m still collecting my thoughts and thank you for all your kind words and texts. Wake me up when it’s all over, because I don’t want it to be real 💔.”
Goldberg continued to share updates about him even after his passing. In one of her posts, she referred to him as her 'best friend and soul mate', while in another post, written only a month after his death, she fondly remembered the immense support he provided her during her health struggles.
What is Pulmonary Embolism?
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a serious condition where a blood clot blocks one or more arteries in the lungs, impeding blood flow. Common symptoms include shortness of breath, chest pain, rapid heartbeat, and coughing, which may be accompanied by blood. Immediate medical attention is crucial for managing this condition.
The primary cause of a pulmonary embolism is usually a blood clot that originates in the deep veins of the legs, a condition known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). These clots can travel to the lungs and block blood flow.
Preventative measures for pulmonary embolism focus on reducing the risk of blood clots. These include maintaining adequate hydration, avoiding tobacco, engaging in regular physical activity, and managing body weight through a healthy diet and lifestyle. It's also important to avoid prolonged periods of immobility, such as during long flights or bed rest, which can increase the risk of DVT.
Prompt medical treatment is essential to dissolve the blood clot and reduce the risk of complications, including death.
