I stood there dumbstuck. . . . . I had not been expecting this. Ahh, then shock hit me: _Oh my god. How has this happened?? *I mean, I'm young!* This is not fair at all. Doesn't god have any mercy??_ &quot;How long do I have?&quot; &quot;Well, you have blood cancer...I would say about three weeks.&quot; _Three weeks??? Are you kidding me?_ I ran from the office terrified. 2008-03-26T14:26:28Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/25844 <p>I&#8217;m of two minds on this. On the one hand, yes, very strong, and, having known people who suffered from various cancers (some beat it, others&#8230;), I can empathize, to a certain extent, with the character.<br />On the other hand:<br /><strong>Doctor:</strong> I have good news and bad news. The good news is, you have six months to live.<br /><strong>Patient:</strong> Six months?! What&#8217;s the <em>bad</em> news?<br /><strong>Doctor:</strong> We found out four months ago.<br /><strong>BA-DUM-BUM</strong><br />Great job!
