I read this in its original form and the translation was very well done. I love the hope that suffuses this story without being sappy. There is a thread of angst and fear, but superseding it all is a kernel of joy in the small victories that characterize the fight against a life-threatening disease. I love the matter of fact way the author deals with a very painful subject. It's not flowery, not wishy-washy, but never loses the feeling that life will out even in the midst of the destruction of cancer. Kudos for this story of love and hope.
