Love in the Time of Cancer - Life, Interrupted 

I am almost done reading it. It’s so well written!! I like seeing the faces of the people she wrote about.

Jon Batiste is Her soul mate whom she just married after a return of the disease and before a SECOND bone marrow transplant.

Sadly last month she wrote on her facebook page that her leukemia has returned after almost a decade being cancer free. She is currently doing chemoterapy and will need a second bone marrow transplant. I still cannot believe it, she looked so healthy. It is really unfair, she is a very good person, beautiful and talented young woman. I was so happy she was cured from that disease and now she is fighting again 😢💔

@@adribelgr5857 yeah I have seen it. Leukemia often comes back once or twice and I believe Suleika is really more stronger than ever and she will go through it successfully. She deserves better and she will back stronger and healthier by the will of God. We have to pray for her though.... May she recover fast and heal forever.. Ameen

Phil Rochat I am sorry😳

So sorry. A lot of guys (and women) would have split. Good on you for being there for her. 🌹

szqsk8 sad part is her father had bypass surgery 2 months before her diagnosis and he went into a coma for 2 months. Has global brain damage so my girlfriend at the tone decided to move back home to help her mother take care of her father

I'm so sorry for you list.

I'm glad you're still here with us! Hair will grow back, but YOU can't be replaced. I hope you are doing well now.

She's no more with him

She said on her Ted talk that they broke up

I was diagnosed at 27.

Tough place to be in as the healthy partner; in some ways not fair of course.

As someone with cancer and CSF I can understand it. You say a wonderul life, but life is not wonderful when someone is ill and you have to stay at home or in a hospital all the time, have no energy for nothing. Especially when you are young and want to explore the world and have a family. When I got my diagnosis I was already single, my ex had divorced me 2 years before. And sometimes I think that is better than adding heartbreak on top of the diagnosis. Even with friends, the docs sometimes ask, don't you have any friends that can help. Apart from the fact that I only have a selected number of real friends, and it's hard to care or a freindship when you totally lack the energy to do so, I understand that people have their own lifes too. Some of my friends experience lack of energy themselves, being torn between financial problems (just a normal life has become so expensive with rents rising), family respocibilities and duties at work. When they come home, they are simply tired.

@@skarbuskreska I hear you but if my girlfriend get sick I can't imagine myself run away. I would regret it for the rest of my life. That's my point of view. Yeah, maybe I'm overreacting right now but that would be my behaviour.

That is true. Since that video the two did breakup. Sulieka is married to Jon Batiste and is overcoming a second bout of cancer. And Jon is still with her.

Who is Jon Bastise ? A new partner ?

Definitely bro,we can't even imagine the pain she would be going through,be with her at this time and be her support.My gf also suffering from cancer since 10 months,and I can't even think to leave her alone,,Even she blocks me every month,but at the end its not she vs cancer,but its both of us fighting against cancer for our future.Good luck mate.

Okay and?

Dawn Hirst so sorry for what's happening to your husband. God bless your family

My girlfriend is dying too...😢 Its scary i know💔

My husband is dying too. God bless all of you.

I to am dying from cancer It seems to be everywhere

Sending you all blessings and as much ease and love as possible. To you and your loved ones.

Her father is from Tunisia, her mother is Swiss. She and Seamus ("Will") in her book broke up several years ago. She reconnected with Jon whom she met when they were teens in band camp. They have been together for 8 years and married in February 2022. Ain't love grand?!😍

In one way, she is immensely unfortunate yet in another way….she has found TWO amazing loves in her young life! I am certain her spirit attracts these great loves….but still!

She is. They got married in February 2022. This video is from 2012. Things change.

Oh I see

*Batiste

She’s married to Jon Baptise now and has cancer again and the guy in the video i dont know

@@yolandapaulino5952 Oh Thank you; he was her boyfriend when she went through the first bout with cancer; I was just being curious why they broke up, nosy , yes, but the story is now public. He seemed to want to stick it out through her treatment though, that’s why I was wondering.

@@gailalbers1430 I’m not entirely sure if he was around the entire time she had cancer the first time since Jon was also there for part of that experience too

*Batiste

Um, please don't depress yourself, because first of all, she's not dead; and second, that's not really true, is it? It is very sad when cancer interrupts a young life, or any disease or accident. Thankfully it is quite rare, nowadays. Remember that children used to die in infancy in huge numbers, from things like measles, polio, smallpox, whooping cough, typhoid, diphtheria, scarlet fever, and other infectious diseases that were endemic before vaccines were invented, and clean water and public sanitation were not widely available. So God doesn't get them early anywhere near so often as he used to.

Actually i struggled with similar thoughts for a while. But when i read the bible verses in NKJV 1. corinthians 20-28 especially 26: "The last enemy that has to be destroyed is death." i was shocked and relieved. God gives life, saves and resurrects. Death takes away! Now it makes sense to me and i wonder why this is not preached more. Hopefully this helps even after years. God bless you
