I totally agree with this. In a situation like this, you face an array of emotions. There's anger and jealousy, "why me?" You probably feel cheated, stuck with the mutated genes while your sister is spared. Your anger at your disease and genetic luck will most likely cause jealousy towards your lucky sister. However, you may also feel grateful and relieved because you sister is healthy. You're relieved because your sister is healthy, and grateful because she is going to give you all of her love and support because she has her health. If the tables were turned, I'd certainly be worried about my sister and feel as though i wish i had gotten the bad gene. However depending on the person, she may be relieved that she was the lucky one, but will devote herself to taking care of her sister. Either situation, there is a lot of love and support present.
