How poetic. My fiancée has chronic neutrophilic leukemia, or is suspected to have I should say. As there’s no testing or treatment, you can only see the symptoms and body’s reaction to the illness and conclude.

We see a specialist every 6 months for the rest of her life to monitor her blood and ensure it doesn’t progress. For the rest of her life.

Here’s to hoping I go out in a blaze of glory as opposed to cancer, caused by this virus, that was given to me by my cheating ex.

Very tough, but just so you don't overthink this too much, we all end up catching this Virus, in the United States, about half of all five-year-old children and about 90% of adults have evidence of previous infection, still there's only 200,000 cancer cases per year are thought to be attributable to EBV
