As a popular saying goes "don't count your eggs until they are hatched" in our experience this is absolutely true. We are presenting a story that tells what a serious illness (Hodgkin limphoma plus self-transplant) has meant for the authors (a married couple, he being a nurse and she a pediatrician) and how things are seen in a different way depending on which side of the barried you look at them from, health and the profession (one) or illness (the other).
