Your girlfriend, Nancy was diagnosed with cancer out of seemingly nowhere. No real warning, no overt, reoccurring symptoms, just some chronic lower back pain for a week and a check-in with her doctor was all it took to receive possibly one of the worst diagnoses one could get. In the face of the devastating news, she felt she needed to put on a brave face for everybody, to show her family, friends, and you that she'd be just fine. It's been 4 months since that day she was diagnosed, and she now lays bedridden, weak, and tired with little reassurance that all the procedures and surgeries were worth it. Nancy's scared of what's next for her and with her declining health and constant pain, she's grown too tired to hide it anymore.

A bit of a sadder one this time around.
