Guest guest Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Dear Iris; Your sisters friend who said she should give up is merely showing how shallow she herself is. It is very sad for her that she does not have the capacity to fall in love with someone who is ill, and is assuming that all others are like her. I was dx'd in December 2006 with CML. I had been not well for some time and am a breast cancer survivor so I was thinking it had a lot to do with my previous chemo therapy. I started to feel especially ill in September and that is when all the testing started looking for leukemia. In October, I met the most wonderful man and we have fallen in love right smack dab in the middle of this chaos. I gave him a " get out of jail free card " very early in the relationship and he being a real man and a worthy man would have nothing to do with it. He stands beside me everyday and we celebrated our first Christmas and our first Valentines together with gusto. There is nothing like a serious illness to show a person just how valuable life and love is. So, you tell your sister that I said " You go girl " . Wishing you much love and happiness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Dear , Thank you so much for sharing your story of love! What an inspiration! I will send it on to my sister. It is sure to lift her spirits! What a blessing to meet and fall in love with an exceptional person-healthy or ill-and I wish you many more joyful Christmases and Valentines together!
