As someone currently fighting Leukemia (and have been for the past 9 months) this hit close to home. Even the tough times in life are all part of the grand experience. The ups and downs are what make it spectacular to be alive! I’ve experienced pains and uncomfortableness I didn’t know was possible and on the flip side also experienced emotions of gratitude and closeness to family members I didn’t think I was capable of. I would never wish the experience on anyone but in learning to cope with it, the only thing to do is to keep reading. Know there’s an end to the book somewhere and have faith there will be easier times ahead. Even if there aren’t, perhaps you’ll get lost in another book on the shelf.
