This is a story about cancer with a happy ending. It´s about life, love, and especially, hope.

I think about everything I´ll miss if they tell me I´m going to die... my mum, my dad, my sister, cookies, TV shows I´ll never get to see the end of, walking outside when it´s really nice, the smell of autumn, the starry sky on a full moon, my grandparents, my grandpa´s lasagna, kissing Victor, Victor´s eyes, Victor´s voice, Victor´s smell, Victor´s hands... Victor.

A teenage girl heads towards the hospital waiting room where the doctors are going to tell her how much time she´s got to live. As she walks, she thinks about her journey up to this point... the terrible decor in the hospital, wearing a headscarf, the horrible treatments, but also being with her friends, family, and her new boyfriend Victor. This is a story about cancer with a happy ending. It´s about life, love, and especially, hope.
