I'm looking for a terminal disease that has a fairly long life span (six months to a year... or more) for a young adult female. I'd prefer to stay away from cancer, as that's pretty cliche (not the disease, the use of it).
Can't be any crazy, hard to contract illnesses as my MC has never left the USA. And nothing with strange deformities or severe impediments (like Friedreich's ataxia) etc.
A slow progressing disease that's not too debilitating until the end would be perfect. Need my MC on her feet for much of the piece.
I've been researching but damn Google and their 8.5 millions results!
I know it's a tough order to fill but please, anything but cancer!
Many thanks!!
