The chemo just got worse as more time went by. Sure, we’d all seen her sick before, but this was just too much. I think it was worse for us than it was for her, although I know she took it hard. She never said anything once she’d come back to herself, but she wailed and ranted about it so much while she was sick and out of her head that we knew it was killing her faster than the cancer ever could.
After that first night, Shane and I talked to the rest of the group about what we should do. I didn’t let Dana be there; Tina took her to talk to Dr. Shapiro while the rest of us sat at the Planet. I told them all she was only doing it for me, and although they protested, I knew it was my fault she felt so horrible.
"I can’t keep letting her do this. It’s not fair. She didn’t want to do it to begin with, and now she’s suffering because I’m too selfish to just let her go the way she wants to," I wound up confessing. I could see the sadness on everybody’s face, and after talking for a few hours, we decided that we’d all try to convince her to stop.
Tina’s news just made us more determined. She’d wound up sitting with Dana through the appointment, although Dana yelled at her and tried to get her to leave. Dana never told me this, but I learned from Tina that the chemo wasn’t doing what it was supposed to, and the cancer was still spreading. Tina told us she didn’t know how she kept herself from crying, but she made it. From there, we all tried to convince Dana. I think she fought us on it just to fight, really. I could see the relief in her eyes when we all told her we wanted her to stop the treatments. Still, she kept protesting.
A few weeks went by, with Dana still going to chemo every few days. It practically killed her, and it only ever seemed to get worse. One night it was too much for Helena (who had come over to be with us in the aftermath) and I to handle, and we called everyone to help us. After we bundled Dana up (she was shaking like a leaf), we all headed to the hospital. She had another infection, but they were fairly confident they could stop it.

I wanted to stay in my happy place and I was really reluctant to read this story. The fact that it was written by you, persuaded me and I’m glad I did. Even though I am crying my eyes out right now, I’m happy to know thatDana spends her last days with the love of her life and is surrounded by her friends. The story captivated me so much that, after reading it, I realized my music player had been playing Akon with I wanna f*ck you on repeat (don’t ask me why). So I’ve been listening to the most unromatic song while reading your immensly moving story! Weird huh?! Anyways, looking forward to the wedding chapter (and looking less forward to the part where we have to say goodbye to Dana).
I cant express how amazing I thought that was, you’ve got me crying my eyes out. Your writing just blows me away. If I’m crying now I’m gonna be so much worse next chapter but I know its gonna be incredible. You are so unbelievably talented x
hey, I just caught up with this. What can I say? This is one strong piece. I’m kinda speechless. Like some other readers here I was getting choked up while reading some parts. The proposal for example and so many more. I’m glad you decided this to be 3 parts, cause seriously, I couldn’t take more of it, since I know what’s going to happen. AND I’m glad you decided to not put this storyline into your other story. Cause that’s my happy one. And you better be updating that fast, lol.;)Great work.
Fantastic piece of work – so sad, yet so happy, looking forward to more very soon.
i don’t think i’ve commented on any story in months but after reading that chapter i couldn’t NOT comment! you literally had me choking on that lump you get at the back of your throat when you’re fighting off tears. i did managed to hold off the tears until the part about alice and the group going to pick fresh flowers. that’s when i completely lost it! you’ve written your version of dana’s cancer story so beautifully. this story it really gives “bittersweet” a whole new meaning. thank you for giving us danish lovers something so precious. i can’t wait to read the final chapter
Wow!I can’t stop crying I can’t wait till they get married
OMG I’ve not cried so much in a long long time…It’s a sad story butits done in such a great way…..I need to get the hankies out for the next chapter I think! PPS
WOW…Okay I’m totally tearing up at work, but at least I am watching The View in the background which is making me laugh…WOW WOW WOW…this is so beautiful! (BTW I do love my job, just a rough time in the industry). Your writing is amazing! Just simply amazing! I have a feeling when the final chapter comes I will need at least a bottle of wine and a box of tissues.
Beautifully sad. Simple as. You have a gift for writing that stirs up emotions I didn’t think were possbile while reading a fictional story. :)
Beautiful as always.
