===Prostate Cancer and Finding Love===
Sam examined Sheldon and found out he had prostate cancer. Sheldon kept it a secret from everyone at the practice while he contemplated what to do. He told Laura he could not travel with her anymore, and instead suggested that she come to visit him in LA. She was hesitant and Sheldon sarcastically told her he was sorry his cancer ruined her plans. She was unable to cope with the news, so they ended their rekindled romance.
He eventually secretly began radiation, where he met Miranda, who had breast cancer. She initially said she was not looking for a friend because she did not want another one dying, but after a while, they became friends in the waiting room. Even though they only spent five minutes a day together five times a week, she was the only one Sheldon could talk about his cancer with. He once almost told Charlotte when she was complaining about having to stay in one place and doing nothing but thinking of all the bad things that could happen to her babies. He said he could relate and when Charlotte asked how, he was going to tell her about his radiation, but decided against it and covered up by saying he had started going to the gym. One day, Miranda did not show up for radiation and Sheldon assumed the worst. The next day, she came and explained she had had car trouble. Sheldon kissed her and said he wanted to spend time with her inside and outside their waiting room. She was terminal and didn't want to drag him down that path with her, but he stated she deserved to be loved until the very last moment. 
Sheldon eventually told Amelia about his prostate cancer when she came to him for advice, after she had a fight with her on/off boyfriend James.

:Sheldon (to Miranda): I'm furious at you. You don't get to tell me to walk away, and you don't get to tell me that this is your journey and not mine. I am on this road. I've been on this road for fifty-six years, all by myself, and then you showed up - on my road. And that day, and every day since, has been the greatest days of my life. So I am not leaving you. And I'm happy to change diapers and to wipe drool, and to hold your hand, 'cause I want to take care of you. I am honored to take care of you. Your last days will be precious, and I'll cherish them. And if you are too far gone to remember my name, then I'll remind you. But you deserve to be loved. Right up until the very last moment. You deserve to be surrounded by love. You deserve to have the face of the man who loves you be the last thing that you see. And I deserve the chance to love you for as long as I can, for as hard as I can. So I am not walking away.
