~*REALITY*~
Name- Rose Same Age, Height, Hair, and Personality
About me: I am currently a Senior in high school and plan to get married in the fall after I graduate. I am engaged to the most wonderful man I could ever meet, Alex. We get along great and have become incredibly close over the past 2 years. We have been faced with things that many couples our age are fourtunate enough not to have to go through. In 2003, he was diagnosed with cancer (Hodgkin's Lymphoma). He took 1 year of chemo, 29 radiation treatments, and had a stem-cell transplant in January of this year. We went to his Oncologist (cancer doctor) yesterday for a follow-up visit and they scheduled a bone-marrow biopsy for Thursday. They are checking to see if the cancer is still in his bone marrow (**after his treatments, the cancer left his lymph nodes and went to the bone marrow. Now they are checking if it is still there post-transplant.) We are bummed and worried about this test because it is about 4 months early. His platelet count has been dropping steadily for the past few weeks and this is just standard procedure for that.
Other than that, he has been feeling fine and we have been working on fixing our house up. (We don't live together, but his parents gave us a brick house to fix up for when we get married) We are working on trying to fix the kitchen floor. After all that he has been through and all we have been through together, it is a blessing sent from God to be able to do all of this and plan for our life together. It makes us treasure each moment we have together and ignore the trivial stuff. It makes us realize that some things just don't matter and we treasure the things that do.
We pray every second that his cancer is not back. We pray that he will be able to live a long and happy life. He is just 20.

His biopsy went as well as could be expected. Now we are just waiting for the results. I hate the "waiting game", but it is all-too-familiar.

Aww don't cry! It's all part of life, I guess. He tells me sometimes "you just have to take the bad with the good." It's amazing how well the takes news and worry. But sometimes, he tries to be too tough and hides the way he's really feeling. He keeps things bottled up for so long that he eventually explodes. It gets nasty when that happens....

He hates for people to worry about him. He says it makes him feel guilty. So you're probably right about that being the reason he acts so tough.

Today is the day we go back to visit his oncologist. We should find out today whether or not he still has cancer in his bone marrow.
Gosh... I feel like I'm sitting on pins and needles right now. I can't believe the day is finally here....
The results lie in God's hands. I just pray that he is okay.
