Incognito

Talking to a friend yesterday she told me a story that was unbelievable. I will call her Miss Incognito...not really to protect her but to protect her half-sister and others involved in the story. We'll call Miss Incognito's sister...Sarah...yeah that sounds good.

Sarah was diagnosed 5 (???) years ago with a rare form of leukemia. She has been able to extend her life with daily medication...but a bone marrow transplant would be necessary for a cure. Sarah is an interesting woman. She has mental issues and can be quite unstable. Because of her cancer she lost one baby that was born at six months premature and has had other miscarriages.

Sarah decided to find her half siblings on her father's side (Miss Incognito and Sarah share a mother) in order to warn them that they could have this form of genetic leukemia. Sarah's sister...who will be called...Jane...was happy to be told. Unfortunately, three years ago, Jane's mother called Sarah to inform her that Jane had passed away due to this cancer. Sarah visited Jane's mother and saw the urn...Sarah was obviously sad for her sister and obviously scared for herself!

Recently Sarah happened upon her half brother on facebook and lo and behold...Jane had risen from the dead! No wait...scratch that...Jane's family had faked her own death so that Sarah would leave them alone. And on top of that Jane is perfectly healthy with a ten month old baby because their aunt had matching bone marrow that she donated to Jane. Got that? Sarah's family pretended her half-sister died...and are willing to let Sarah die rather then give her the necessary information on who the aunt is that donated her marrow.

Miss Incognito and I are realizing why Sarah has some of the issues she does.

Yes this story is true.
