He found love in a desperate place.
Finding love in the world of today’s digital citations is not an east feat, especially if you are going through an experience that changes life.
This is what happened to a young woman diagnosed with cancer, who slid over love and to her surprise, the man of her dreams found.
Nella Pignatelli was only 22 years old when he was diagnosed with acute B cell leukemia.
He had to undergo exhausting treatment for months. After almost a year, having something to wait once he reached the other side of his battle against cancer: he downloaded the appointment application, Bumble.
“I had doubts to find someone who was immediately understanding and patient, which was what I needed at that time,” said the 26 -year -old to Need To Know.
Pignatelli decided to mention in his profile of the appointment application that he had recently suffered chemotherapy. “I think that acts as a detection process,” he explained.
To the surprise of the 22 -year -old, Pignatelli agreed with Kelvin Fuechcliff, whose life was also deeply affected by cancer.
“I lost my mother and grandmother for cancer when I was 12 years old, so when I saw Nella’s circumstances in her profile, I overlooked it,” Fuechcliff said, according to Need Know.
“I knew I wasn’t going to change who she is, and just wanted to meet her,” he said.
Pignatelli was surprised, in a good way, because of how affectionate he was Fanchcliff, considering his circumstances.
“He was the only person with whom I talked that he did not hurry or intimidated me when he talked about my treatment and quotes,” said the young woman.
“I remember that a guy who was talking directly said he couldn’t handle it.”
Approximately one month after the online meeting, the two finally met in person for a first date.
“When Kelvin and I met, I was using a wig since I was bald at that time and he didn’t even know it was a wig!” Pignatelli said.
“I told him at the end of our appointment that it was a wig, since he wanted to be honest, and that he did not seem disturbed or a little for that,” he added.
Chemotherapy was not the only obstacle to this young couple: approximately two months after their relationship, Pignatelli faced another health complication.
He was diagnosed with pneumonia and spent a week at the hospital at the Teenage Cancer Trust Unit in Uclh, with his new Beau by his side.
Fast advance to know, the couple continues to strengthen itself despite the many health hudrles they overcome. Live with their dog and are keeping for their wedding.
“During the three years we have been together, we have gone through about 20 years of life, including diseases, family health problems and labor problems,” said Fuechcliff.
“I think that’s what my cancer story really showed us is that you can always find a positive in a really bad situation,” Pignatelli added.
