Your own experiences and what I know of my mom's makes this chapter very chilling and a lot to deal with. I think people were harsh on Gabriel but I guess he had a right to do as she told him...to leave...it didn't honestly mean he was leaving for good or that he didn't have the stomach for it. He just gave her a breather and than when back to fight. Being Katherine, I am sure emotions are worse than a roller coaster. Great chapter, Brbara.
Hugs, Carol

What a great chapter. I'm sorry to hear you had to go through that. You have conveyed it well in this chapter. I felt for your characters, Gabriel and Katherine.

Thank you for the encouraging review.
Comment from tfawcus
A chapter filled with the kind of tensions that tragic illness can cause. Very well written. You've used it to further cement the relationship between Gabriel and Katherine's family. Very emotive.

You sure did explain the circumstances and results of the barf pills. I never knew that the vomiting was so bad. I know the pain is bad and also the infection can spread into the lymph nodes if you are not careful.

Comment from Brett Matthew West
Big battle brewing over who will raise the boys. That adds a whole different dimension to the story.
Cancer is defiantly a tough road to travel and can make a person do things they otherwise would not.
Storyline continues to hold interest.

These are some hard times, for the patient, and for all those around close to her. But thankfully the numbers of survival have improved greatly over the last few years. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from amahra
Didn't like Jordan and Bill's attitude towards Gabriel concerning Katherine. After all Gab has been to Katherine, I didn't think their charges were fair.
Loved the two lines of humor below. Thought it was placed great inside the serious cancer drama.
"I'm not in love with your hair."
I can honestly say the farthest thing from my mind is lusting after your naked body. I'll clean this up."

Thank you for the kind review. I took a hit because someone felt no man would act the way Gabriel did.

Oh, I see your point. They kind of thought he was a little too good to be true? And you wanted to give him a bit of human flaw. Ok, I get it. :))
Comment from K.L. Rockquemore
This is a very good write. The photo is perfect and appropriate. I would look into breaking up the longer paragraphs as it will make for an easier read, just an opinion. I enjoyed your use of descriptive words to create imagery.

Thank you for the kind review. In romance writing a paragraph should not be longer than 15 lines. I have kept to that rule, not that being said, I posted this at a 22 font size, which may have increased the length of the paragraph.
Comment from BethShelby
You certainly succeeded in describing it. I've lot of people who have gone though it and they don't tell don't you how bad it is. I can imagine it is something they don't wart to relive by describing it or maybe they don't have the talent you do to put it on paper. Being nauseated is one of the worse thing I know off. I am so afraid to throw up because everytime I have in the past, I"ve kept it up until I got dehydrated. The cost is unbelievable. I would say a guy who does run when all that is going on is in it for the long. Well done.
