I am just going to say this, I tend to be blunt, so here you go. The audio part makes her sound dumb. Her speech sounds a bit juvenile and then her talking about how her cancer is terminal but she is planning on adopting kids? If I misunderstood that it definitly needs to be fixed but if that is the way it is that is an incredibly selfish thing to do which does not paint her in a good light. Terminal ilnesses are truly difficult subjects to cover, you have to be extremely careful how the subjects are portrayed, and if I knew her personally and saw this I might be offended. But remember this is coming from not knowing what the facts are, just from what she is saying, and the one statement primarily about the terminal diagnosis and then wanting to adopt children is simply difficult to sympathize with. I hope this helps. BTW the pictures are a great start, I hope you can stick with this story because you will learn alot from it, she really isn't at a stage that shows her illness, and when she is you need to be there as well. Without the words, you have no real idea about what is going on since the majority of the photos are happy and wedding. If this is to be about the fight, then make it about the fight, not about the happy, does that makes sense?
