I'm Anna, I have an important story to tell, I'm just not sure how. I have cancer, it's a rare type of blood cancer, I think you ought to know that before I go onto anything else... But more importantly is my family, my mum, her boyfriend, the tulips, and Sisyphus (my hamster). Welcome to my life, a story of a side effect.
This is based off of John Green's mentionings of the fake book "an imperial affliction" in the book/film, the fault in our stars. I do not wish to take credit for any ideas expressed as this is 100% based on any information I could gather of Green's portrayal of the fictional book, I am only writing this because, An Imperial Affliction by Peter Van Houten does not really exist. This is also dedicated to my best friend, Abigail, she means everything to me.
