Oh so sweet and sad also my late husband had stomach cancer he was in remission for 7 years but it was not the cancer that killed him but an insulin over dose. Thanks again for a very good read.

I have mixed feelings about this and I hope you don't mind me saying so... I'm not a big fan of the cancer arc, but I like how you used it and when you wrote smth like "you can't get revenge on cancer". And although this quote and theme could have made Lisbon seem like a simple mean to an end for Jane and not focus on her and her fight enough, you avoided that mistake, thank God. It was a clever idea to throw that into their relationship, I don't think I had ever thought of this possibility.
Anyway, the plotline made me a bit uncomfortable and I was convinced Lisbon wouldn't make it (I didn't read the author's notes to avoid spoilers), but the writing itself and your depiction of their emotions was great and as in character as such an AU version of them could be and I liked the epilogue. Overall, great job! :)

You did a wonderful job with the idea that such a life-changing event as her having cancer would make them get past the bickering and banter and become partners, first in her recovery, and then in their new life together. The way that you wrote it seemed perfectly in character. Great job, as usual! :-)

The end of the previous chapter had me in tears worrying that Lisbon wouldn't make it. My dad had cancer as well, and it made me think of that. Thankfully he's been in remission for 13 years. The day of a successful bone marrow transplant is called a second birthday.
I'm so glad of this happy ending.

I LOVE this epilogue and I bow to your awesomeness once more. I'm so glad it had a happy ending, and I love where the team's at in it. It's nice to see all the relationship changes. Sigh. Best story ever. And it still makes me cry!

I absolutely love the moment when she realizes he gave up on RJ for her. *sobs* It always gets me when she talks about being normal, and he's always with her. Good lord, girl. This is amazing, and I'm sorry I didn't have time to review earlier! You've portrayed everything with such careful detail as always. HUGS

I bow to your awesomeness. Seriously, stories like this are the reason why we voted you best author in last year's Jellies! Wow.
[He wondered how he could have stopped himself from loving the woman in his arms.
Because it just seemed so cruel to break through his isolation—to disturb his loneliness and self-torture—with the false promise of love and happiness when it seemed that the only things that lay ahead were more pain and loss.
Much as he couldn’t, didn’t want to go through that again, he found that he couldn’t help himself.]
That is such a beautiful part. I love how you describe everything and it's all so real.

I had to wait to finish this because it made me cry when I read it on JF. But now, I'm home alone so I can cry my little heart out. I have to say that I honestly never expected this as a twist. It was a lovely turn of events and you portrayed it absolutely beautifully. *sniff*
