Before I posted this new story I wanted to give everyone a little information.

Meredith comes home to her friends in Seattle after finding out about her disease. She thinks that there is no hope in saving her life. Of course her friends refuse to allow her to give up. They inlist the help of the head neurosurgeon at Seattle Grace. Will he be able to save her life? Or will she succomb to her disease before they have a chance to experience true happiness? Mer/Der

Christina, Alex, George and Izzy are all residents at Seattle Grace Hospital.

Meredith is a resident in New York at Mount Sinai.

They have all been best friends since grade school.

Meredith didn't go to Seattle to do her internship for the simple fact that everyone knew her mother.

I haven't decided on relationships for the other characters. So that is still up in the air.

This is a Mer/Der fanfic.

Derek was never married to Addison.

He lives in his trailer and of course Mark is his best friend.

IF you have any questions feel free to ask...
