I know about the cases where patients have survived even though their deaths were pronounced by the doctors and they called it miracles. I am talking about in this particular situation when a girl is about to get married or engaged what she should do.
In this case, yes one needs to take precautions and positive outlook and discuss it all with their partner but that doctors assessment should't be the primary concern.
and I am sorry I did't mean to come across as harsh. I can understand this situation. It is emotional but then that's how life is.
If it was me I would definitely talk to my partner (would-be). It is not something to hide and who knows, may be this open communication would bring more happiness and joy in their life.
just read the rest of your posts in this thread ......... I think this person needs to set their priorities straight. ........ and not worry about those people (log kia kahein ge stuff). We give examples in geneal that "life is too short" but in this case that is so "real" so why worry about what other people say right?
